So, when they're tasked with locating the recently-stolen ashes of long-dead celebrity tennis player 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. But will they and the people they love survive what they find?Fiona Hardy is a writer, bookseller and reviewer from Melbourne. Her books for kids include How to Make a Movie in 12 Days, which was a CBCA Notable Book, and How to Write the Soundtrack to Your Life, which won the 2021 Children's Peace Literature Award; her first crime book, Unbury the Dead, was shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Awards. Despite her murderous literary writings, in real life the worst crime she has committed was stealing a single chocolate freckle from a milk bar, aged 7.Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Farrells Bookshop.Free, bookings essential.Tickets - Tickets are required for everyone attending this event.Branch Information - If you require further information regarding this event or require assistance booking your tickets, please phone Mornington Peninsula Shire Library on (03) 5950 1820.__________________________________________Further Information -If you need to cancel your booking, please log into your Eventbrite account, or contact your library branch.
