Killer in the Crowd

Live music is in her blood, but as the death threats arrive, she fears there's a killer in the crowd.

Cath Edgley is a normal schoolteacher at a normal high school... until she hears the shocking news that fading rock star Raven Rain has been murdered.

Because, to Cath, Raven Rain is more than just a picture on a magazine - he was also the ex-lover of her missing mother, Betzy Blac, lead singer of '80s punk girl band, D嶰ollet? A woman who went missing over 30 years ago.

Warned by a string of mystery text messages to "trust no one", Cath is inspired to solve the mystery of her mum's disappearance, once and for all.

Cath finds herself thrust into the sordid underbelly of the '80s music scene, when rock and roll played second fiddle to the sex and drugs.

Along the way, she also finds herself playing a new role: unwitting replacement lead singer for D嶰ollet?on their first tour in over 30 years.

Can Cath find the killers before she becomes their next victim?

Are the superstars she encounters all that they seem?

And what exactly happened to the punk superstar, Betzy Blac?
