Life had become one big puzzle for Tess Valentine. She was happy in life, working as a junior creative in a London advertising agency and living at home with her mother and stepfather. But after receiving a letter from a lawyer in California, informing her that her biological father has died, she makes her first transatlantic flight to settle what remains of Robert Valentine's estate. As Tess embarks on a wistful journey from her home in a sleepy Surrey village in England to the glamorous environs of Los Angeles and Malibu, she has opaque hopes of making a belated connection with her dad, but she has no inkling of the danger that awaits her in California. Robert Valentine's devoted love for his precious daughter throughout the preceding years, becomes an ever mystifying, bewildering and heartbreaking journey for Tess. From the moment she lands at LAX, the focused and restless malice of a hitman, known locally as The Watcher, becomes her anonymous and relentless companion. Naïvely unaware of the constant surveillance and imminent menace that awaits her, Tess is more vulnerable than she can possibly imagine. But after a chance meeting with a friendly homeless man in Malibu, Tess is shocked and stunned to discover the real story behind Robert Valentine and the legacy he left behind. And as she slowly uncovers and deciphers the series of intricate clues left for her by her father, the cryptic path is made easier to navigate with the assistance of both Tom Delaney, her executor's charming son, and the enigmatic and mysterious Malibu Hobo. Colour and electricity, noir and romance commingle in this mesmerizing mystery-thriller that erupts from a distant past to climax in the present, in a lethal and murderous clash of wills.
