Sunny Place, Shady People

Carol Richmond

A travel mystery set in Monaco and the French Riviera

When Australian police couple Rob and Jane Fitzgibbon exchange their home with a mysterious European couple in Monaco, their holiday plans for the French Riviera unravel.

Jane is still traumatised by the Lindt Café terrorist attack in Sydney; Rob is anxious to make their vacation and his second marriage work. But they are beset by sinister happenings: from missing luggage to bizarre break-ins, stolen identities, and a chilling letter left behind by their hosts.

The couple are seconded by the Australian Federal Police to investigate terrorist plots against international sporting events from Marseilles to Melbourne. Haunted by her past, Jane is desperate to capture the suspected ISIS terrorists who threaten the lives of thousands. But a risky entanglement threatens to derail more than her holiday. And who is the Russian oligarch connected to every shady person they meet?

A thrilling travel mystery, drenched in Mediterranean sun and dappled with dangerous liaisons.
