Publisher's Synopsis
Helen McPhee is not your average amateur detective. In fact, she's no sleuth at all!
She is an emotional wreck after enduring the soul-destroying misery of losing her husband.
Helen resigns herself to a shallow existence.
After losing all hope and reason to continue, a hand reaches into the depths of her despair and drags her out into a world of light, confidence, and adventure. An old family friend and lawyer deposits her on a flight to the other side of the world, where she embarks on a journey meant to bring her back to life.
An introverted Helen resists, but soon backpacks through the sunlit glades of a foreign land.
Her first village sleep-over brings unexpected hardship and mystery. Being a helpless tourist fallen victim to a petty crime, the police ignore her, and it forces Helen to tap into a skill she did not know she possessed; endless inquisitiveness and a thirst for the truth.
In her journey, Helen uncovers more than just a local villain. She learns to laugh again. Enjoy this 1st installment of Helen McPhee's quest.
