Blurb -
Lexi Ryder vowed to never return to the Gold Coast, but
after a desperate phone call from an old friend, she returns only to learn her
friend is dead.
Was it murder or an accident?
Lexi finds herself embroiled in a game of politics,
assassinations and secrets. A world where people are not who they seem.
Detective Matthew Ryan wants Lexi as far away as possible
from him and the case. But Lexi knows too much. After a public assassination
they discover that whoever is responsible is willing to go to great lengths to
dispose of those who get in the way of their plans.
Is Lexi willing to risk her own life to seek the truth?
Money, status, and power. Some people will do anything to get
it, others will do whatever it takes to keep it.
Excerpt -
He pushed her hard and she slammed into the wall of the
building, the rugged bricks cutting her palms as she tried to protect herself
from the impact. This couldn’t be the end. She turned to face her attacker. She
didn’t recognise him. In the darkness she could just make out his features. He
had a face that could easily get lost in a crowd, olive skin, a freckle beside
his eye, and brown hair. It’s funny the details you notice when you face your
killer.
“I’ll give
you whatever you want, please, take my keys, my wallet, there’s two hundred
dollars in there, just don’t hurt me, please,” Lexi pleaded as he pushed her
against the wall.
He stared
at her. No smile. No reaction. Then she noticed the glimmer of a gun in his
hand.
He pushed
even closer until she felt his lips against her ear. “You’ve been asking too
many questions.”
Lexi
squeezed her eyes shut and pushed him away with all the strength that she could
muster as pain seared through her body. She kicked him but he grabbed her by
the neck and pulled her towards him pressing the cold metal barrel against the
flesh of her lower back. This was it. She was about to die. And all for
nothing. She wondered if Dana had known she was going to die at the exact
moment her car had veered off the road and slammed into the tree.
