Beschreibung

Dangerous Secrets. A Web of Lies. Secrets have a way of unravelling. When Laura's husband, Tom, dies suddenly, the shocking autopsy results make her question everything she thought she knew about him. Then documents detailing Tom's research into his employer's Iraqi operations are stolen from his home office. Who wants these documents? and why? As she desperately searches for answers, Laura stumbles upon a lifeless body in a deserted office car park. The woman looks strangely familiar, but Laura can't place where she's seen her before. She now realises that she and her family are in grave danger. Laura's investigation navigates a treacherous landscape where the lines between trust and betrayal blur. Every step brings her closer to the truth, but also deeper into a deadly conspiracy involving organized crime and corruption. The stakes are high. Powerful people will kill to protect their secrets and maintain their hold on power. Will Laura expose the truth and keep herself and her family safe? Or will she become the next victim in a dangerous game of deceit and betrayal? For fans of James Patterson, Harlan Coben, and Jeffrey Deaver, this compelling Australian mystery suspense thriller will intrigue and keep you guessing until the end. 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 "Lethal Legacy is a fast paced and intelligent political thriller, set in the corrupt heart of Australia's corridors of power. A compelling read." Richard Beasley, author of the Peter Tanner thrillers and Hell Has Harbour Views (adapted for TV). Also, author of the non-fiction Dead in the Water. "A fantastic, complex tale ... a really intriguing, engaging, and compelling book." Barry W Litherland, author of Waves Break (on Unknown Shores), Shifting Sands, Breakers, and many more. "An interesting Australian political thriller, it's a keeper, add it to your bookshelf." Richard Evans, former federal MP and author of Democracy Trilogy

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.
