— NZ Booklovers

“She was in the wrong place at the wrong time - or was she?”

Former US agent Marla Simmons keeps a low profile in a quiet South Island town, waiting for her past to catch up.

With an election looming, journalist Grace Marks is covering the escalating union protests – and someone is tracking her.

When a bomb rips through the Wellington union offices, echoing the unsolved 1984 Trades Hall blast, Grace is caught in the explosion. The official line that it is the work of a lone extremist doesn’t add up. With security cameras everywhere, identifying the culprit should be easy, but the police and SIS investigations stall.

Marla must decide – was Grace an innocent bystander or the intended target?

A gripping New Zealand thriller. Who is being targeted – and why
