Meet young Joe Horseman. How much will he risk to save his dead hero’s honour?
Horseman idolises rugby captain Seru, who plucked him from the crowd of hopeful freshers to place him in his Fiji university’s top team. So when Horseman finds Seru’s corpse in the changing shed he vows to help investigate. But the police refuse to pass him the ball. Even his friends and Coach send him to the sidelines. Could his idol have feet of clay? To save Seru's honour, Horseman defies the rules and charges ahead.
Death of a Hero is the prequel to the Fiji Islands Mysteries series. Set in 1990s Suva, the young Horseman’s first case is not only a twisty whodunit that will have you reaching for your thinking cap, but a coming-of-age story that will touch your heart.
If you enjoy tropical islands and brain-bending mysteries, you will love B.M. Allsopp’s gripping tale.
Reviews
I love Allsopp's writing: plot-line, characterization, well-researched details, settings - all are excellent. And the characters are not just believable, they are so well written you feel like you know them personally.
All fans of Horseman have to enjoy this deeper look into Joe's reasons for joining the police force. And as always, a close and gentle look into Fijian culture. Well done!
This is a fast-paced mystery that will keep readers guessing. If you've never read any books in this series, this is a great place to start. If you are already a fan, here's a look back at a young Horseman. Enjoy!
