Teen-surfers and private detectives, Dickson Bottoms and Mick Morris, best mates, are embroiled in the murder of Horace Fink not only as investigators but also as suspects, together with several other people present at the crime scene. However, despite the presence of 13 people plus the victim, there are no witnesses. The Fink Curse finally reveals 'whodunit'.

Quote:3

Following the murder of Horace Fink, the
normally sedate and uneventful Manning Valley now
had to its questionable credit 13 possible murderers,
each of whom was present at the scene – Tony
Spiropoulos’s honey shed - when Horace was shot
dead. The only certainty was that one of those people
was guilty. Which one? That remained open to wild and
rampant speculation.
The coroner’s inquiry concluded the obvious;
that Horace Fink was killed by a bullet to the brain
from a Smith and Wesson pistol by a person or persons
unknown. There were no eye witnesses who saw the
actual firing of the weapon, only the result. The case
remained open to further investigation.
One of those present at the murder scene was
constable Clive Farrell who was suspended from duty
pending the outcome of the coroner’s investigation, as
well as the findings of a police internal inquiry into why
he refrained from taking any action that might have
prevented the crime.
