Ms Hardy will be visiting both libraries on Wednesday, April 1 to tell the tale of the morally flexible best mates and private investigators, Alice and Teddy, who pride themselves on fixing every kind of mess imaginable, no questions asked.
When they’re tasked with locating the recently stolen ashes of long-dead celebrity Ashley ‘Perry’ Perrineau, it should be a routine job.
But it quickly becomes clear that everyone who knew Perry is keeping secrets: his accountant despises Perry’s widower; the sculptor of his statue is hiding something in her studio; his ex-doubles partner is a compulsive liar; and his mother is obsessed with preserving his legacy and her image at all costs.
Alice and Teddy will need to travel up and down Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula — all while avoiding more than one person on their tail — to uncover the truth and keep the body count from rising.
Ms Hardy, a Melbourne writer, bookseller and reviewer, boasts a range of commendation for her work, including her winning of the 2021 Children’s Peace Literature Award for How to Write the Soundtrack to Your Life, and the shortlisting of her first true crime book, Unbury the Dead, in the Ned Kelly Awards.
The author will attend Euroa library at 10.30am and Nagambie Library at 2.30pm.
