Who is Pinkie Floyd? Philippa Floyd (Pinkie to her friends) joins the country club for one reason only, Judge Carlisle is a member, and she intends to kill him. What's more, she has something very special in mind to do it with; the rosary pea. Beloved of poisoners since ancient times, the plant can always be relied on to do the job. To her friends in the gardening club, she is just another green-fingered retiree who has chosen Cornwall as a place to put down roots, but Pinkie is so much more.

Produktbeschreibung
Who is Pinkie Floyd? Philippa Floyd (Pinkie to her friends) joins the country club for one reason only, Judge Carlisle is a member, and she intends to kill him. What's more, she has something very special in mind to do it with; the rosary pea. Beloved of poisoners since ancient times, the plant can always be relied on to do the job. To her friends in the gardening club, she is just another green-fingered retiree who has chosen Cornwall as a place to put down roots, but Pinkie is so much more. A seasoned professional, she always picks her targets carefully and never mixes work with pleasure. When she breaks this cardinal rule, she pays the price. With the police on her tail and an old flame in the wings pushing her buttons, she is forced to abandon her retirement for something altogether riskier. They say one man's meat is another man's poison but has Pinkie bitten off more than she can chew this time?

Autorenporträt
After training as a lawyer, Julie returned to her native Cornwall to establish her own law firm and to raise her three children. After years building a successful legal practice it was time for a new adventure and she decided to write the stories she had formulated in her head over the years about her community and the lives of those who find themselves on the wrong side of the law. 'I have always been fascinated by the schizophrenic character of the windswept Cornish peninsula my family has been lucky enough to call home for generations. Occupied by a cast of reluctant bedfellows, city-slick escapees and us locals who carry the remnants of our myth-ridden history etched on our backs like tattoos, it teeters between the bucket and spade domesticity of modern-day tourism and a superstitious past, riddled with Pagan traditions. The resultant clash of cultures and sensibilities causes friction, resentment and drama. My aim, through my writing, is to explore what happens when these divergent worlds collide to expose a darker reality at odds with the picture-perfect landscape. Whilst I was lucky to enjoy a fantastically satisfying career as a lawyer I cannot now imagine anything more joyous than being able to sit at my desk and write knowing others might read and connect with my words. Cornwall has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless wonderful writers through the decades; their vivid images now woven into its rich tapestry. If I can add one colourful stitch I will be happy.' Visit my website to join my reader's club: www.cornishcrimeauthor.com
