In an American community overseas, every scandal risks becoming an international incident. So, when a colonel on base calls about an incriminating photo, St. Killian knows the stakes are high. But how does he thwart a blackmailer if no one tells the truth?
It’s not only the guilty who have something to hide. When charity worker Cate and website designer Rory, a married couple in their thirties, return from their European holiday, they make a nightmare discovery. Their credit cards have been cancelled, their bank account has been emptied, and their phones and internet have been cut off. Their home in the New South Wales coastal town of Kiama has been rented out as a holiday let, and their dog and pet-sitter have disappeared. Meanwhile, Cate's work colleagues have received copies of her handwritten resignation letter, posted from Paris, filled with insults and lurid allegations. The pain isn't over yet, not by a long shot. Someone has set out to destroy Cate and Rory Porter's lives - and their anonymous enemy's motivations are a mystery. As the harassment ramps up, some likely suspects emerge. Is it the anti-vax campaigners who have already targeted them over Rory's website for dog owners? Or maybe a pro-Russian activist who objects to Cate's work with Ukrainian refugees? To make matters worse, the local police seem suspicious of their allegations. Cate and Rory quickly realise the only way to reclaim their lives - and their beloved poodle cross, Iris - is to find their tormentor themselves. And it isn't long before things turn dangerous. Deadly dangerous. Full of sinister twists and turns, dark humour and a fascinating cast of supporting characters from society's shadowy fringes, Twisted River will grip you until the final cliffhanger ending. 'A premise that's all too real. Twisted River will have you hooked from start to finish ... but you may never go on holiday again.' MICHAEL BRISSENDENVer libro
