The family's engaging. The dogs are welcoming. Nature is thriving. But there's a thread of evil in the woods, and Saskia, computer geek and mountain bike enthusiast, is there to find its source. She uncovers more than she signed up for, and the stakes are higher than she imagined. The fate of a logging community hangs in the balance unless she can unravel the mystery in the forest.
Saskia and her colleagues at the International Financial Services accept an assignment that sends Saskia from her home in Lyon, France, to the highlands of Australia. She's there to help Tania, the new managing director, restructure a family-owned logging company, restoring its fortunes in changing times. She's also there to discover whether there's a basis for Tania's suspicion that money is being laundered through the company's books.
All starts well, despite vague threats that change to traditional ways of doing things isn't welcome. But the complications pile up. Money is washing through the town in grand houses and businesses that should be failing. Josh, the Finance Manager, is highly stressed about something. Then Saskia begins to uncover a surprising plethora of crimes, and, suddenly, the threats are real.
Tania's demand to back off and keep herself safe comes too late, and Saskia is in the heart of a wild chase that she must win, or her new-found friends will die.
