Murder in
Lake Placid
What if you had to go into witness protection because the information you knew about a murder made you a
target?
Meet psychologist Dr. Seiko who has a murderer in her session but doesn’t know it.
A murder, a psychologist and a murderer.
Dr Amy’s colleague (eminent forensic psychiatrist Dr Prozac) also has a heart-to-heart with a murderer involved in the lovely girl’s death. But is he the actual murderer or do the cheeky crime scene cleaners sweep the real evidence under the carpet?
Confusion reigns in the community. Not helping matters is The Lake Placid Post newspaper which reveals only the most important facts about the case: a falling coconut wasn’t responsible for her death, and someone is looking after her cat now.
Thus, the rainbow-coloured theories including “the bikie gang killed her” keep growing. The Lake Placid community do know what really happened though. They know who did it. Definitely. It’s sooo obvious! Everyone is a suspect. Everyone.
Then of course, the flourishing town gossip twisting through the tropical tourist town like a cyclone suddenly stops like a balloon pricked with a pin. Finally, police identify this Asian bloke, a healthcare worker, as the prime suspect.
So, why does Dr Amy suddenly have to go into witness protection?
Who will get away with murder?
Don’t you know who I am?
It should be obvious from the colour of my skin that I’m South African. I was born in Johannesburg although I have no memory of that! I lived there until Mandela became the first president to be fresh out of jail and with a passport that had a misspelt middle name. South Africa is the same country that gave birth to comedy great Urzila Carlson. I, however, started out my stand-up comedy career, standing up as I was expelled from several classrooms in high school for giggling excessively. After graduating from high school, I left for the USA where I earned a degree in Creative Writing and Psychology from the University of Miami in 1996
