Murder as a Fine Art

by John Bishop Ballem

When artists, writers, and performers gather at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the serene mountain setting is meant to inspire creativity. However, the peace is shattered when playwright Alan Montrose is found dead. While initially dismissed as an accident, the subsequent fiery death of artist Erika Dekter makes it clear that a killer is lurking within the colony. Aspiring painter Laura Janeway takes it upon herself to investigate, but as she navigates a web of professional jealousies, secret affairs, and long-held grudges, she realizes that in this tight-knit community, she must view everyone as a suspect to uncover the truth.
