Produktbeschreibung

Buried Secrets. A web of deceit, betrayal, and danger. Can she survive her fight for justice and truth?

Laura thought she knew everything about her late husband before he died. Now, her life and the lives of those she loves are in danger.

As Laura delves into his previous role in Iraq, she begins to unravel a web of lies and deceit that goes far beyond anything she could have imagined. What was he researching? And why are people willing to kill for it?

Laura turns amateur sleuth. At fifty-nine, she must summon every ounce of strength and relentless determination to expose the truth and navigate a treacherous landscape of suspense and intrigue where the lines between trust and betrayal blur.

From the hidden battlefields of Iraq to the claustrophobic corridors of power, every step she takes brings her closer to the truth, but also deeper into the dangerous realm of those who wish to silence her forever.

Can she triumph over the shadows of corruption and finally bring justice to light? Or will she succumb to the deadly grip of those who will stop at nothing to protect their dark legacies?

Editorial Reviews: "H.R. Kemp takes us on a complex and intriguing journey. It is a complex story … but this is well-rewarded as the twists and turns untangle toward its conclusion. Laura is a worthy heroine who will stop at nothing to protect her family, and the mature-aged protagonist is a welcome addition to the genre … races to a satisfying and surprising conclusion. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a thriller with depth. David Cameron for Readers' Favorite - 5 Stars

Autorenporträt

Hi. I'm glad you dropped by. Let me tell you a little more about myself.

I live in South Australia, in the seaside suburb of Glenelg. The esplanade is a great place for long 'thinking' walks to dream up tantalising plots.

I'm the author of two Australian mystery suspense thrillers with political intrigue and mature women amateur sleuths, Lethal Legacy, and Deadly Secrets.

My short stories have appeared in the Uk anthologies in the UK, Aust, and the USA and in Canadian, US and UK magazines.

I didn't start taking creative writing seriously until I took early retirement. Writing had taken a back seat while I studied (my first degree is a Bachelor of Science, major in Chemistry), pursued a career, and raised a family although my mind still filled with ideas and plot lines that I filed in the bottom drawer.

I pay attention to the corporate and political world, especially scandals, and my mind is often asks 'what if' questions that generate plot ideas with political intrigue.

My main characters are mature women amateur sleuths. They're not government agents, spies, or gun-toting police officers. They're ordinary people, in ordinary jobs, not the usual heroes in thrillers. My main theme is ordinary people can make a difference.

I also love to include elements from my other passions into stories, especially inspirational locations from my travels. Even though my novels are set mostly in Adelaide, Sydney, and outback Australia, some of the action also takes place in Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Amsterdam, and other interesting settings. The gallery on my website showcases photos (from my travels) that I've used in my stories.

I'm a theatre buff, love art exhibitions, and of course, I'm an avid reader. My writing often reflects the kinds of books I like to read. I hope you enjoy them too.
