One Night – Two Bodies – Three Crimes
When Detective Sergeant Bec Harpin answers a call for help from her friend, barrister Carolyn Moorhouse, she suddenly finds herself on the wrong side of an investigation that threatens to derail her career. Not only does Bec have to decide how far she’ll go for a friend, but she also must decide if her friend is guilty of a crime.
On the same night, a body is discovered bound and gagged in a small unit in suburban Melbourne, and Bec and her team are faced with two separate investigations. The situation is complicated by startling revelations from the dead woman’s neighbour, actor Nikki Cardone, a woman seeking her own justice from wrongdoing. But is Nikki the grieving actor she seems, or is she one of the perpetrators?
While Bec closes in on answers, and Nikki races against time to clear her name, the two women must find their separate ways to the truth.

About the author


Rozzi Bazzani is an award winning author who has written scripts, libretti and songs for theatre including two stage musicals together with a wide range of articles about music, theatre and performance for publication. She has been a regular contributor to the Arts pages of the highest circulation newspaper in Australia.
Before she came to writing full time Rozzi worked as a singer in the recording studio and on stages across Australia, Italy and Germany and used her voice for both spoken and sung commercial work, backing some of Australia’s best known singers and supplying appropriate voices for anything from soap to sunglasses, and from face cream to dog food.
Returning to study, she graduated from Melbourne University majoring in Romance Languages, Linguistics and Fine Art. It was then that Rozzi’s love of reading (one of her early roles was as a librarian) and love of history inspired her first book, a fully researched biography of Australian TV mogul Hector Crawford ‘Hector’, which won the Victorian Royal Historical Society Publication Prize and was short-listed for the Ashurst Business Literature Prize.
Her first work of fiction was ‘The Piano Woman’ which was published in 2021 reflecting her lifetime love of music and performance in a mystery romance.
Rozzi still loves to sing whenever she can. She lives in a small town near the base of Mt Macedon outside Melbourne and, with her husband and two big poodles for company, is often seen walking on local tracks while considering the next plot twist for her newest book.
