Who killed sweet, innocent Felicity Larkin? To find out, Johnny Siddley must return to his life of crime.

As a leading barrister, Johnny Siddley fed his family by defending the city’s most despicable wrongdoers.

He’s happily putting that life behind him in the peaceful embrace of Tranquil Tides Executive Lifestyle Village.

But embarrassment faces Johnny wherever he turns. He keeps bumping into former clients, his son, Justin, is promoting another dodgy financial scheme and annoyingly cloying Felicity Larkin is determined to make Johnny her fourth husband.

When Felicity is brutally murdered, Johnny’s arch-nemesis, the vengeful, corrupt DI ‘Choco’ Lindt, is handed the case, and Justin is the prime suspect.

Racing against time to find the real killer, Johnny has eager allies—too eager if anything—former deputy headmistress, Cynthia Tullet and public servant turned snooker shark, Ranjan Tillekeratna, but to save his son, he must swallow his pride and seek help from the criminals who made him a pariah in his profession.

Johnny Siddley's Life of Crime will delight readers of Thursday Murder Club, Marlowe Murder Club and Simon Brett’s Mrs Pargeter series, introducing a new team of grey-haired amateur detectives, and the Donnellens, a delightful horde of lovable rogues.
