Description - A Case of Knives by Peter Rose
The cast
Julia Collis: a brilliant but unconventional publisher, more than a little controlling of her image
Candy Collis: an opera singer with a bright future and a dark mother
Matthew Light: a young actor, taken under Julia's wing as a teenage boy, obsessively in love with Roman Anthem
Roman Anthem: the 21-year-old grandson of a legendary Australian prime minister, renowned for his good looks, despised by Julia
The scene
Valhalla: an incestuous household of steely alliances, lopsided infatuations, and dark impulses
The plot
Roman Anthem is missing and no one knows why.
Witty, satirical and full of intrigue, set against a backdrop of opera, publishing and politics, Peter Rose's first novel is unlike any other Australian fiction.
