AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set on a sweeping canvas stretching from Noosa, the sub-tropical paradise on Australia's Queensland coast, to the bustling streets of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and on to Thailand's Golden Triangle, this action thriller tells a gripping tale of mystery, intrigue and romance.

In The Orchid File: The Noosa Connection, Steven Carlson, Australian Secret Service agent and recent widower, is assigned to investigate Thai orchid exporter Chak Artachinda. Chak is suspected of working for a syndicate shipping drugs into the country.

Carlson tails his suspect from Noosa to Bangkok, but quickly discovers someone wants him dead. In Chiang Mai, he encounters a beautiful Thai woman named Srisamorn, who harbors a secret of her own that will impact Carlson's mission.

Just as Carlson thinks he's found the proof he needs against Chak, he discovers the real secret the exporter is hiding, one involving the rare "Noosa Blue" orchid. With his life on the line, the only one who can save him is the beautiful Srisamorn. (From the publisher's website.)
