AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When James learns governments are facing a multi-billion dollar crisis, the son of murderous Nick Abbott immediately sees an opportunity, but to capitalize on it he needs the expertise of his lover, Sandra. Although their relationship is rocky, James convinces Sandra to leave her home in Australia and move to London where she becomes a specialist consultant in the intoxicating setting of London's Parliament. Sandra's rising profile brings her into direct conflict with the bitter and ambitious, Andre Nicholas. Andre manages to implicate James in a plan to destroy Sandra's career and drives away Sandra's closest friend, the beautiful but mysteriously tormented Gretta. Sandra's only other ally, William Grantley, wants to help but with his own secrets to keep he must consider his options carefully. From Australian beaches to the corridors of power in Westminster and the steamy passion of Africa Into the Fire will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.' (Publisher's blurb)

y separately published work icon Sins of Life Lynn Santer , Burleigh Heads : Zeus Publications , 2000 Z1848721 2000 single work novel crime 'Lynn Santer's... novel exposes a hitherto undisclosed true-life shocking skeleton of the life insurance industry. Decades ago international law was changed to prevent parents purchasing a life insurance policy on a child because of the volume of infanticide (child murders) committed during times of depression to reap financial gain. In this close-to-the-bone fictional thriller, Lynn explores the rise to fame and fortune of a life insurance salesman who helped perpetuate the sales of these policies. Now a respected member of the community and worshipped by his son, Nick Abbott's sins come back to haunt him when the source of his success is revealed in the guilt-ridden confession of a dying man. Eager to keep skeletons of the past buried, the insurance industry closes ranks around Nick, while his son, James, and a woman both father and son would possess, Sandra, join forces to beat the master at his own game... a game where life is only measured in dollar terms.'

y separately published work icon Evil By Design Lynn Santer , Burleigh Heads : Zeus Publications , 2000 Z1848741 2000 single work novel crime 'The final chapter in the Sins of Life trilogy sees Sandra and James reconcile in an attempt to find Sandra's missing friend, Gretta. Following a trail of money from Zurich to Lisbon they inadvertently discover a plan to commit genocide by stealth. Gretta's estranged husband, Heinrich, is running Reager Laboratories with the Nazi's looted billions. On the surface it all seems perfectly legitimate, with an effective façade of researching genetic engineering of food crops. But below the main facility Heinrich has been conducting terrifying experiments. Finding themselves embroiled with Mossad, secret societies and global politics, Sandra and James are thrown into the middle of a conspiracy that could change the balance of power in the world. The consequences of Heinrich's research are so chilling, and so entirely possible, that the final revelation will leave you gasping for breath asking yourself, "Could it really happen?" Could it?'
