The Hallami Deal
|
Jumping off a cliff is not a rational plan
Joanne Zammit is going to do it anyway. An enemy has already ruined Joanne’s career, but now Rachel has crossed the line, stealing Joanne's husband and imprisoning him as a hostage. What will Joanne have to sacrifice to get him back? Joanne faces a lonely road where her personal integrity is threatened and her self respect will crumble to dust. Joanne leaps recklessly into the fray with no guarantee of Stephen’s eventual release or even her own survival. The odds are never good when a lone civilian challenges the power of the intelligence services. Joanne struggles towards her goal as a series of increasingly deadly attacks on Canberra locals raise the stakes to terrifying levels, and Joanne’s attempts to avoid entanglement in the secret world become ever more futile. The action takes place in the suburbs and dirty back lanes of Canberra, Australia's national capital city, especially Manuka and Civic, with occasional excursions to the Cotter River, Tuggeranong, Merimbula, Yass, and other regional locations. The Hallami Deal is the second instalment in the Bargains and Trades suspense/thriller series. This story is set in Australia and uses Australian idioms and spelling. |
