Synopsis
Kate Cunningham is a business woman; she is also a widow, and she is very wealthy. She is an equal partner in Western Australia's largest travel agency, Travwest. However, she has suffered a series of catastrophic events in recent years, which have taken their emotional toll and altered her life forever. She is flying her own light aeroplane, a Cessna 210, from Sydney to Perth, an unremarkable feat, as it's done by many pilots many times a week. The flight takes about three days. The trip is uneventful from Sydney, New South Wales to Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. At Kalgoorlie Airport, she refuels and departs on the last 600 kilometres to Jandakot Airport, just south of Perth. However, she is directed to land at Perth Airport, where she is taken into custody and told she has been missing for twelve months. Utter disbelief, frustration, and anger follow when she is told that the Federal Police, Customs and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority are pressing various criminal charges that include drug running and people smuggling. However, Kate's lifelong friend from her schooldays, Lauren Gordon, does not believe that she has committed any crime. She has another view which is equally unbelievable, but proves to be astonishingly true! Convincing Kate to pursue her wild idea, she and Lauren set out to find the truth.
About the Author
At 77 years of age and recently retired, Graham started to devote more time to his writing and so three novels which had their beginnings many years before were dug out of their dusty manila folders and resurrected. The first, ETA, was originally a short story written about 1980. It was developed into a novel and left aside. Then in 2013 it was resurrected, taking many re-writes, late nights and frustrations to edit and re-write portions. His second novel, The (Wizard) Camera, was also written over a period of four years. Edits and re-writes also proved necessary after such a time. The third, The Serial Killer (working title), is still "a work in progress" Graham lives with his wife Janice, also retired, in a newer suburb near the ocean, south of Perth, Western Australia with their Chinchilla/Persian cat Solomon, and a raucous wiero (cockatiel) known as Caesar. Graham's passions are flying his radio controlled aeroplanes and fishing. Actually, in his own words, he's not very good at either.
