Siren - The fifth bestselling novel by Tara Moss, released Sept 09. International releases to follow...
ENTER A WORLD OF BEAUTY AND DANGER, OF FRENCH CABARET AND TERRIBLE REVENGE
Mak Vanderwall - beautiful, street-wise daughter of a cop, graduate in forensic psychology, and now PI - is hired by a widowed mother
to track down her missing nineteen-year-old son. Has he come to harm? Or has he run off with a bizarre troupe of shady French cabaret
artists sweeping through Australia? Has the dark beauty of the burlesque, the magic, the mind-bending contortion, beguiled him? Or has he
been seduced by the mysterious and amoral older woman who has a terrifying starring role in the troupe's modern performances of the
Grand Guignol 'Theatre of Fear', famous in Paris in the early 1900s? And what of the rumours of violence and tragedy that have plagued
the troupe for the past decade? Is their horrifying past fact or fiction?
Meanwhile, Mak is increasingly obsessed with the powerful Cavanagh family, one of Australia's richest and most ruthless families, whom
she believes has got away with murder. And it seems their security advisor Mr White, and his hit man, Luther Hand, may not have forgotten
about Mak either ...

Praise for Siren:
