They destroyed her life…
Now she’ll do anything to get it back.
After growing up in the shadows of her father, a suspected fraudster who disappeared when she was a child, Helen Jencks builds herself a picture-perfect life as a successful City of London trader. But her past makes her the ideal fall guy for a multi-million dollar scam. Overnight, the life Helen created is destroyed.
Disgraced and devastated, Helen escapes to Peru where she launches an investigation to salvage the only thing she has left: her good name. As she pieces together who set her up and why, she unearths the terrifying truth of what really happened to her father. As she seeks redemption for herself and her father, she makes dangerous enemies who want the past to stay buried.
Aided by the beguiling and secretive Evan Conner, Helen’s investigation takes her on a perilous journey through Peru’s legendary mountains and cloud forests where her past and present collide.
