Ashley Rynne: Riptide of Truth, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

In the charming coastal town of Cairns, where the Coral Sea meets vibrant streets lined with blooming bougainvillea, life moves to the rhythm of waves-a soothing lullaby that masks the tumultuous depths beneath. Yet for Alison Carter, this juxtaposition of beauty and undercurrent felt like a dangerous dance. After years of unraveling truths in the harsh realms of investigative journalism, she sought solace in Cairns, a retreat from the chaos of her past. But as she stepped onto the warm pavement, she didn't realize the storm brewing on the horizon-a tempest that would not only challenge her resilience but also force her to confront the shadows of both her community and her heart.

Haunted by the ghost of her father, a passionate advocate for marine conservation who had mysteriously disappeared, Alison found herself mysteriously drawn to the vibrant world of coral reefs and the passionate community surrounding it. It was beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. The realization that she was about to delve back into a world filled with secrets meant that she would inevitably stir echoes of loss, forcing her to confront the very fears she tried to escape.

But as Coral Reef Enterprises reared its formidable head, masking deception under the guise of environmental advocacy, Alison couldn't ignore the signs-the whispers of dissent that crept through the town like shadows in the night. She remembered her father's teachings about the empathy that tied a community together, the deep love for the ocean, and the fierce determination to expose corruption that lurked in the darkness.
