Featuring scenes and locations the author knows well.

In a new collection of short mystery stories set in Melbourne Case Files of the Wilkinson National Detective Agency (BlueMere Books, 2021), Alexandria Blaelock examines the role private investigators play in society.

“I’m a little sad Australia didn’t have anything like the Pinkertons,” Blaelock said, “so I’ve tried to imagine what something similar might be now.”

In this collection of original stories, five corporate investigators ply their trade.
