A Matter of Love and Death (pen name Caron Albright)

1931. In depression-stricken Adelaide, telephone switchboard operator Frances Palmer is the
sole provider for her mother and adopted uncle. Although a new paying lodger, Phil, makes
life a bit easier, paying the mortgage and everyday bills is a struggle.
When Frances overhears two men on the phone, planning a murder, she must make a
difficult decision. If she keeps quiet, someone could die. But telling the police would mean
breaking the confidentiality she has sworn to uphold, costing her the job and her livelihood.
But can Frances really trust what she heard?
Distraction comes when Uncle Sal and Phil take her to a nightclub. There Phil runs
into an old wartime friend, Jack. Although Jack is defying prohibition rules, Frances soon
finds herself drawn to him.
When the secret she carries about the planned crime becomes too hard to bear, she
confides in Jack - a man with his own sense of right or wrong. Together they set about to
uncover the identity of the future victim. But is it too late?
As love blossoms, Frances and Jack’s hunt puts them in grave danger, and soon
Frances will learn that some things are a matter of love and death.
