Aether
As Detective Inspector Terry Stratton emerges from the icy waters of idyllic Seven Mile Beach and sets out on the ride leg of his club triathlon, his only worry is beating his mate, Johnno. Despite his recent demotion, Stratton is revelling in his new role as head of the re-formed Homicide and Cold Case Unit, despite its reputation as a poisoned chalice within the ranks of Tasmania Police. His team, rejected as misfits by other divisions, as Stratton was himself, is part of the appeal.

Crossing the finish line, an urgent summons saves Stratton from Johnno's victory taunts. A body has been found in macabre circumstances, in a nearby parkland. As suspects are eliminated and leads fizzle out, a second gruesome death occurs in another of Hobart's picturesque parks. Stratton is convinced the murders are connected and that an arcane ritual is being played out in the shadow of kunanyi, the majestic mountain, looming over the city.

Under pressure from his nemesis, AC Morton, who insists the killings are unrelated, the local press, and even from within his own team, Stratton has a choice to make. Chase a murderer, desperate to complete their mission, or appease Morton, poised and waiting for an excuse to remove Stratton from the investigation.

About the Author

Simon James (S.J.) Thiessen lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife Jane. He has four children. Simon started writing Aether to fulfil a lifelong dream of writing a novel - a distraction from his work as an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, author of business books and podcaster.

As he wrote, he realised he didn’t really want to write a novel. He wanted to be a novelist. Simon's stories are inspired by a love of mysteries and overlaid with themes he is passionate about: Tasmania, dyslexia, triathlon, inclusiveness and equity, and a healthy dose of anti-establishment-ism.

Like DI Terry Stratton, he is an enthusiastic, rather than talented, triathlete and has represented Australia twelve times in age group world championships in Beijing, Auckland, Chicago, Cozumel (Mexico), Adelaide and Montreal.

Simon's favourite authors include Ian Rankin for his evocative settings, and Reginald Hill for his wonderful characters and intriguing plots. The influence of both can be seen in Simon's writing.
