** FROM THE QUEEN OF FEEL-GOOD CRIME COMES A GRIPPING STAND-ALONE MYSTERY **
When Vilia Lea’s estranged mother passes away, she leaves Vilia an intriguing inheritance—a remote island on the tip of Papua New Guinea, and a series of tantalising clues to the disappearance of her father 30 years earlier.

So begins an enthralling family saga that sweeps Vilia from the streets of Manhattan to the wilds of the Pacific. Along the journey she discovers what life, love and family really mean…

From sipping coffee in a crowded NY café to exploring remote and rugged Tubu Island and beyond, Vilia must follow the evidence to uncover the truth about her father’s vanishing. Did he run off with the missing hausgirl? Fall foul to a tragic accident? Or was there something darker, more sinister at play? Along the way, Vilia encounters the ancestors of proud headhunters, eccentric expatriates and an elusive witchdoctor with a story to tell.

But is it a story she is willing to hear?

In this spellbinding tale of discovery, C.A. Larmer shows how searching for the truth far outweighs burying your head in the sand and hiding safely away.
