About the book
In contrast to his previous science fiction releases, J G Maelzer's forthcoming novel is a contemporary murder mystery set in England.
He saw her undress...
He saw her dance...
He saw her die.
Lonely and adrift after his girlfriend walks out on him, Craig slips back into old habits. While trawling through adult websites he reconnects with his favourite cam girl. Katya is sexy and captivating, but also likes to chat to her fans. Charming and wise beyond her years, she offers something many other camgirls do not; a genuine connection.
But during a private chat with her, an unknown man enters her room and murders her.
Craig reports the crime straight away, but what can the police do when he doesn't know the victim's true identity or where the murder was committed?
After reconciling with his girlfriend Karen, and dealing with his own shame and guilt over his cam site use, he finds she is an eager and supportive partner in his ongoing investiation. When nobody else cares about uncovering the truth, it is up to the two of them to solve the crime, and bring justice for Katya.
It's Rear Window for the Onlyfans era.
Death of a Camgirl is a tightly-written murder mystery that is at turns exciting, witty, sexy and dark. You'll be eager to discover the truth and along the way you might find yourself falling in love with the two unlikely detectives and their evolving relationship.
Content warning: This novel is intended for adult audiences. It explores themes of sex work and contains frequent references to sex, as well as a graphic murder scene. These elements are not the focus of the novel, nor are they presented gratuitously. If adapted as a film, it would likely be rated "15". The novel is about 70,000 words long.
