Lethal Legacy: An Australian mystery suspense thriller with political intrigue
About this audiobook
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.
