THE CORPSE WITH THE SILVER TONGUE

A classic whodunnit, featuring Welsh Canadian Professor Cait Morgan - a criminologist who specialises in profiling victims, when she‘s not over-indulging in gourmet food. The corpse of a man seemingly admired, but certainly feared; a group of suspects, each with a possible motive for murder; the glamour of the South of France, where hatred simmers in the heat; the disappearance of an ancient gold collar that's said to be cursed. These are the ingredients for a Nicoise salad of death, secrets and lies. Will Cait work out which of the victim's dinner guests killed him before she, too, becomes a victim of a murderer who is driven by a surprising, and disturbing, motive?

Born, raised, and educated in South Wales, Cathy Ace moved to London after graduation to begin her career in marketing and marketing communications. She later moved to Vancouver, BC where she has taught on the MBA course at UBC, and has delivered undergraduate courses at various lower mainland universities. She is currently lecturing at SFU. Her love of crime fiction began at an early age: she graduated from Nancy Drew to Agatha Christie aged about ten, and never looked back!
