ABOUT COLOUR OF GREED:
Gold Medal Winner in the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Best Fiction 2013.
The Carnage...Staring at the grim devastation after Adelaide is rocked by an earthquake is not how David had planned to end his day especially when a building, his building, one that should never have collapsed, does. The result? Twenty-six people dead and dozens more maimed for life. David Burrows knows that the structure should have withstood the forces nature dealt it. Something is very wrong.
The Search...David is determined to find the truth, for the sake of his reputation and before disaster strikes again. And so the race is on, across the country into the very heart of Australia. Only his search for the truth is about to lead him into terrible danger. First one body is found, then another. The carnage must be stopped before it is too late. Except David is supposed to be next...
The Treachery...When David won’t let the past stay buried, the repercussions ricochet from Adelaide to Hong Kong to Alice Springs. Some people are willing to go to any lengths to protect themselves and their money—their morals blackened by Greed.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Gavin grew up in Paarl, in South Africa’s Western Cape Province, an area renowned for its scenic beauty and viticulture. Whether it was the scenery, drinking his parents’ wine on the sly, or being surrounded by the smell of fresh ink and the hum of his father’s printing presses—or all of the above—Gavin felt strangely inspired to start writing when he was twelve years old.
“My father gave me this old Underwood Standard. I’ll never forget it. It had a sticky ‘s’ key that would periodically instigate a maul of type hammers and shredded ribbon.”
Gavin went on the study Architecture and ran a practice in South Africa before emigrating along with his family, to Christchurch, New Zealand. It’s there that he started taking up writing seriously and began work on his debut novel, Colour of Greed.
In 2008 he moved to the Gold Coast, Australia where he joined the Gold Coast Writers Association, serving as its president.
Colour of Greed went on to receive the Gold award for best fiction in Australia and New Zealand at the Independent Publisher Book Awards 2013.
“Writing can be an arduous and lonely journey. It is important to surround yourself with family and fellow writers who can support you along the way.”
Gavin still lives on the Gold Coast, working on his next thriller. A proud husband, father and grandfather.
