The Accidental Bystander

Lee Creed retires and leaves behind a past exposed to high crime and violence to move from the USA, to the tranquillity of a popular coastal town in Queensland, Australia, for a safer and quieter new life.

Or so he thought...

When Lee goes to the aid of neighbours in distress, he finds himself thrust into the middle of violence and murder that rivals everything he left behind in the US.

While trying to get some answers, Lee uncovers a high level of corruption that possibly involves local law enforcement and even higher.

Forced to go it alone, the body counts rise as Lee uses his particular set of skills to protect and avenge the vulnerable, while exposing those responsible.

He knows, if he fails, it will cost him and the people around him, their lives.

Australian born Steve Gee has thirty years' experience in criminal investigations, so it made sense for him to write 'whodunit' urban noir crime stories, with a focus on the investigation, to solve the plot.

Steve continues to write stories in the mystery, thriller genre. He lives with his wife, Margaret in Queensland, Australia.
