The Musician and The Murderer — Richard Yaxley

Micky Chambers lives in Hobart, Tasmania, with his parents, brother Cam and beloved sister Millie. Life is slow and predictable until a terrible accident occurs, leaving an impact on Micky which is profound and far-reaching. Micky seeks reconciliation within the community of his football club and through the twin agencies of mateship and love, however it is the dilemma that swells within him that will eventually determine his fate. As he seeks to understand how is it that men can be both gentle and brutal, both musician and murderer, Micky fails to see what he himself has become and how close he is to initiating a second needless, destructive tragedy.
