Blood of the Rose by Kevin Murray Publisher: Urbane Publications Genre: Crime Fiction Masterfully crafted by Kevin Murray, a former crime reporter, 'Blood of the Rose' calls on decades of experience to uncover many crime-related issues that are rarely portrayed in fiction.

Having covered dozens of violent cases during his career as a crime reporter in South Africa, Kevin Murray has become incredibly close to all sides of murder. From the motives that drive the accused, through to how their actions change the lives of victims' families forever, each case has now also become vital preparatory work for a chilling and insightful new crime novel.
