Kathleen O’Connor of Paris by Amanda Curtin
In 1906, Kathleen O’Connor left conservative Perth, where her famous father’s life had ended in tragedy. She set her sights on a career in thrilling, bohemian Paris. More than a century later, novelist Amanda Curtin faces her own questions on life and art, as she embarks on a journey in Kate’s footsteps.
Part biography, part travel narrative, this is the story of an artist in a foreign land who, with limited resources and despite the impacts of war and loss, worked and exhibited in Paris for over forty years. Kate’s distinctive figure paintings, portraits and still lifes are highly prized today and form an inseparable part of the telling.

Old Scores by David Whish-Wilson
It’s the early 1980s: the heady days of excess, dirty secrets and personal favours. Former Perth detective Frank Swann is in disgrace, working as a low-rent private investigator. When he’s offered a security job by the premier’s fixer, it soon becomes clear that someone is bugging the premier’s phone – and it may cost Swann more than his job to find out why. Old Scores is a fast-paced, entertaining, and suspenseful must-read for fans of Australian crime fiction.
