Read a sample Read a sample
The eponymous central character in Precious is a boozy, burned-out reporter with an embarrassing nickname and a penchant for getting into trouble. After three failed marriages and a humiliating stint in a Greek jail, he will do anything for the quiet life. A job as woman's page editor for the Ockenden Star-Leader seems like just the ticket — that is, until town gossip Rose Oxley winds up dead with a pair of scissors lodged in her chest. Suddenly Precious finds himself embroiled in a hilariously over-the-top murder mystery. Douglas Glover has written a number of fiction, non-fiction, and short story collections and for two years hosted The Book Show. Literary Fiction, Mystery Fiction, Humorous Fiction, Canadian Author
