PROLOGUE

Francine Sanger was a bright, imaginative and talented photographer. Early one morning the housekeeper found her sprawled over her bed with two bullet holes through her head. Her husband was lying beside her with an open gun shot wound behind his right ear. His right hand held a 357 Magnum. Five years before her death Francine met Bernard Moses, a successful developer and without seeking counsel or checking his credentials impulsively invested in his first Adelaide city housing project. The venture was enormously successful and netted huge returns. Three years later Francine again invested with Moses, but without warning the deal went south, Moses couldn’t be located and Francine’s million dollar deposit had vanished. Francine’s son-in-law David Riley had a reputation for straightening out the most complex glitches on business computers. He traveled far to calm office woes. On one such trip he was amazed to be boarding the same plane as the missing developer Bernard Moses. Their flight was soon to embark from Bali, a tiny Pacific Island north of Australia. It was well known that David, Francine's son-in-law, had a reputation for drug dealing and theft after finishing high school. He did not merit a good reputation with his in-laws. Learning about Francine’s bias against David the local detectives boldly listed him as a person of interest in the Sanger murders. His friends and associates were also placed beside Moses as serious suspects. Assaulted by the process of jurisprudence, the tears and screams of the victims' children are not heard. Murder at Carswell Close is their story.
