Description
The blood-stained quill: murder and the poison pen
Melbourne 1927. When the Poison Pen column in The Truth newspaper shames five members of the public, exposing their hypocrisy and lies, it barely raises a ripple of interest. But when three of them end up dead, each clutching a white feather, The Argus’s senior crime reporter, Reggie da Costa, feels compelled to investigate. What is the connection between the anonymous Poison Pen and the people he ridicules: the president of the Melbourne Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, a nurse, a politician, a doctor, and a priest? What is the significance of the white feather? Can Reggie unmask the Poison Pen and bring a murderer to justice?

Advance Praise
“A superb historical mystery with an engaging central sleuth in crime reporter, Reggie da Costa. Dark secrets, a poison pen, murder, and that tantalizing clue of the white feathers – what’s not to love? Highly recommended.”
— Matthew Booth, author of the Everett Carr Mysteries.
“In 1927 Melbourne, a scandalous newspaper column exposes five public figures, but when three end up dead clutching white feathers, crime reporter Reggie da Costa is drawn into a chilling mystery. As he investigates the link between the victims, Reggie must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again. A gripping, atmospheric, historical mystery, loaded with scandal and deception and spiced with a touch of romance. I highly recommend this fifth book in The Reggie da Costa Mysteries!”
— Lori Duffy Foster, author of the Lisa Jamison Mysteries.
