An Artful Remedy

When a government sponsored high technology venture suddenly goes bust, Luke Barber loses his investment. But was he deliberately defrauded by one of the directors? Luke sets out to recover his money by fair means or foul, and along the way finds out about other's losses. He tries to right the wrongs, aided and abetted in his efforts by his paramour Faye Owen. Will it work out, or will the long arm of the law intervene? Set in South Australia, 'An Artful Remedy' is a tale of ordinary people driven to do uncharacteristically risky things in pursuit of redress for unexpected and very personal injustices. The story moves between the art scene involving an art gallery owner and an accomplished amateur artist, and a government-sponsored high technology industry based on a radical new idea for solar powered vehicles. The two worlds cross in unexpected ways. This is a yarn full of ambiguous and interesting characters, none of whom are entirely good or entirely bad - just like real life!! It is a feel-good, light-hearted crime/adventure caper, and takes the reader on a journey full of intrigue ― it plays with emotions as the reader wonders what happens next: tension slowly builds as things become more and more dangerous. The ending will leave a big smile on the reader's face! 'An Artful Remedy' is writer Richard Samulis's debut novel.
