Abstract

Rough on a Tangent is a novel which charts the progress of Rita, a novice detective in Los Angeles, as she follows her first real investigation to Madrid and back. The case concerns her housemate, Kurt, who gets involved with a spiritual cult which is using a new form of biochemical warfare to gain power. I have used the detective story genre to explore Rita's journey of self discovery. These first four chapters comprise part one of my novel.
