In "Innocent Murder", Investigator Ng and Stella Pentangeli work different sides of the crime fence. Ng's case is one of triads, sex slavery and murder. Stella's case is a showbiz trifle - she must discover who is stealing plotlines from the hugely successful soap "The Young and the Naked" and selling the information to a rival channel. Steve J. Spears was a multi-award winning writer and author of the classic Australian play, "The Elocution of Benjamin Franklin". "Spears' novel is a fast-paced, deliciously wicked parody of the world of showbiz. It has everything you could ever want from comic crime fiction - sex, drugs, laughs and a ridiculously high body count." - "Age" Pick of the Week. "Like a satire of early James Ellroy - with laughs." - Graeme Blundell, "Australian"
