Pathways to Murders

Can you carry two contradictory thoughts in your mind at the same time and still tie your shoelaces? What about three, four, five, six...?Where a lot of people get into desperate trouble. In Australia, Malaya, Thailand, Burma, Singapore, Netherlands.From almost commonplace personal histories to the almost unbelievable present. Stretching over eighty years or so. A Dutch woman blows up her husband and then becomes best friends with an Australian Aboriginal lesbian warrior.A Chinese grandmother seduced, not unwillingly, by a Scottish rubber planter in Malaya.What would you do if you received a text message offering you $20 million? $60 million?Was that signpost, or that one, helpful in determining who was responsible, or was it just a red herring?When everything comes together and is fully explained, will you know what happened?

Why don't you just ignore all this - relax, open your autobiography of Sigmund Freud and...? On the other hand . . .
