ANOTHER WORD FOR MURDER

About the Book

1955: London, England and Hong Kong, China Devon Stone, best-selling author of murder mysteries, receives a cryptic note from beyond the grave. Is it a warning or a clue to a murder? A startling murder on a Star Ferry in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour takes place at almost the same time as a suicide is discovered in London. These two events are connected…but how? Veronica Barron, an American actress friend of Devon Stone’s, returns to the London stage to great acclaim, but at what price? An opera singer in Hong Kong is transformed by the role of a lifetime, albeit in a very deadly and violent way. A volatile father-son dynamic is the catalyst for a devastating and heart-breaking revelation. But once he solves one crime, Devon Stone comes to the realization that the mystery is not yet over. With multiple storylines that converge in unexpected ways, along with scenes of graphic violence, scenes of humor, and a touch of romance, we will discover that devious deceptions and lies prove that one can never be certain about who, or what, someone might be.
