AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Little Demon finds investigator Plant back in the iconic paradise of Byron Bay, hired by ageing rock ‘n’ roll journalist Rock Richmond whose computer with his history of the alternative communes has been stolen. Plant's rural retreat is invaded by conspiracy theorist Fullalove, who figures Richmond had been writing about rumoured Cold War arms caches and secret militias. Plant’s inquiries involve Rock's wife, a barrister specialising in drug cases, his girlfriend the mysterious Madimi, and caravan park owner and rifle club president Jake, a former army officer who used to run a commune.'

Works about this Work

Murder and Conspiracy in Byron Bay Matilda Grogan , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: Antipodes , June vol. 33 no. 1 2019; (p. 178-179)
— Review of Little Demon Michael Wilding , 2018 single work novel

'Byron Bay, on Australia's east coast, is a town populated by a curious cross-section of hippies, surfers, backpackers, and celebrities. Whether they come for the area's natural beauty, its relative seclusion from paparazzi, or its relaxed attitude to recreational drug use, the residents of Byron Shire inhabit a curious intersection of money and politics. Michael Wilding's Little Demon is set squarely within that intersection, blending humor, mystery, and conspiracy to create a detective novel with a twist.' (Introduction)
