Roman Roulette: Missing friends and the mafia cause mayhem in the Mediterranean (Northern Rivers)

Unable to leave Rome due to an air traffic controller strike, Charlotte accepts an invitation to a party on a super yacht. A friend disappears and then Charlotte becomes an accidental stowaway as the yacht heads for Sicily. Inadvertently caught up in the international slavery trade and forced to choose between several unbearable options, Charlotte embarks on a bold plan to save the women captured by The Monk, and in doing so, to save herself.

Part thriller. Part romance. Set in the world of spies, super yachts and the mafia underworld. Roman Roulette pulls the reader in from its opening pages at a party on a yacht in Rome, to an old vineyard near Taormina in Sicily, and back to Evans Head in northern New South Wales, Australia.
