Dead Hands - Paperback

Yasmin Rose Pestel, a successful businesswoman behind Pestel's Edible Petals, and her loyal canine companion, Combo, return home to a chilling scene.

Her estranged boyfriend lies shirtless and shoeless in a cleared lavender paddock. His vacant stare hinting at danger and secrets.

While Yasmin's empire is crumbling around her, Combo's selfless instinct puts his life in danger.

A cryptic telephone message tugs at the threads of a life Yasmin's never known and suggests a conspiracy far larger than she can imagine.

Incontestable last wishes emerge as a seductive adversary despite the lingering rumour of a boogey-man, daring to prove that some legends-and some people-are not so easily laid to rest.

As threats mount and the police seek more answers, Yasmin embarks on a perilous mission that could vindicate or ruin her, all while trying to protect Combo, who holds a silent, steadfast key to the mystery.
