An Artful Remedy

A light-hearted crime caper

Beschreibung

When a government sponsored high technology venture suddenly goes bust, Luke Barber loses his investment. But was he deliberately defrauded by one of the directors? Luke sets out to recover his money by fair means or foul, and along the way finds out about other's losses. He tries to right the wrongs, aided and abetted in his efforts by his paramour Faye Owen. Will it work out, or will the long arm of the law intervene? Set in South Australia, 'An Artful Remedy' is a tale of ordinary people driven to do uncharacteristically risky things in pursuit of redress for unexpected and very personal injustices. The story moves between the art scene involving an art gallery owner and an accomplished amateur artist, and a government-sponsored high technology industry based on a radical new idea for solar powered vehicles. The two worlds cross in unexpected ways. This is a yarn full of ambiguous and interesting characters, none of whom are entirely good or entirely bad - just like real life!! It is a feel-good, light-hearted crime/adventure caper, and takes the reader on a journey full of intrigue ¿ it plays with emotions as the reader wonders what happens next: tension slowly builds as things become more and more dangerous. The ending will leave a big smile on the reader's face! 'An Artful Remedy' is writer Richard Samulis's debut novel.

Autor

Richard spent the first sixty years of his life preparing to be a fiction writer, and now writes full-time. Born in outback Quorn, South Australia, raised in Adelaide, Richard did all manner of jobs in his early years, including grape picking, talc mining, car assembly, waiting-on, ditch-digging and bar work. In his twenties he decided to pursue a career in the IT industry, based in the UK. He quickly rose up the corporate ranks, managing large organisations on the way, until he gravitated towards international business and variously managed Scandinavia, the Benelux countries, southern Europe, Turkey and the Middle East and Africa, working for American companies, spending most of his time 'in territory' getting to really know and understand various cultures in a way that is not possible as a casual visitor.Richard dealt with 'Oil & Gas', automotive, aerospace and defence, and pharmaceutical clients, generating and closing several major global deals. He learned an enormous amount about how these industries operate, and about the foibles and subtleties of different cultures. In a complete change, Richard returned to Adelaide in the early 2000's, became a student again, and completed his Masters' degree in architecture. He completed a couple of years' internship before sitting the architect registration exams, and then set up his own practice - only to slowly realise that his heart lay instead in writing. Somehow or other, Richard also found time along the way to race formula cars, fly ultralights and scuba dive all over the world. He now spends his time reading, travelling, playing the sax, and most importantly, writing.
