Shark Bait
by Suzanne Fleming

When his business partner, Jake Collins, is murdered, Duncan Scott, a successful financial advisor, becomes a prime suspect.

Senior Sargent, Tony Vascelli and Senior Detective, Mark Newman, have their work cut out, sifting through the evidence of a blood speared jacket, matching Jake’s DNA, and a threatening letter sent to him, just prior to his death.

Jake’s life passions were women and gambling. After a run of bad luck, his debts had rocketed to half a million dollars and Danny Brewster, the casino boss, got a little jumpy and started yelling for his money.

Scott’s son, Zac, throws away college, for life in the drugs-and-brothels fast lane. Brewster, and his associate, Mike Truscott, take the kid under their wings and prime him for a career in their seedy world. When Zac gets in over his head he turns to Julie Anderson, his father’s second, but now divorced, wife.

Vascelli and Newman get a lucky break when one of Brewster’s prostitutes is almost beaten to death. And the Director of Social Services decides to talk straight about a kid who had been placed in foster care, twenty years ago. The lawmen also discover Jake Collins was once married to the daughter of a London, business tycoon. The spotlight shines on his ex-wife when she is kidnapped and held captive.

The surprising links between two countries, and the suffering caused by selfishness and greed, weave a web of suspense, and keep the reader guessing until then end.

Global Warming

The New York based Global Shift Inc., and its joint venture partner, EcoLogic, have been studying the effects of global warming for over a decade. EcoLogic grabbed international attention with AtmosFear, a climate change modelling system that torpedoed its competitors out of the water.

EcoLogic scientists make headlines when they predict global catastrophe in less than six years. They put forward impressive scenarios to demonstrate massive destruction from rising sea levels.

The Australian government is sceptical about the projections, but it can’t afford to take the risk that they might be correct. The Prime Minister, whilst still unconvinced, agrees to fund a massive relocation plan to help coastal residents move to inland locations.

People are reluctant to leave their prime real estate, but when another great tsunami smashes through Asia they begin to accept the threat as real.

EcoLogic’s CEO. Claudia McBride, is shocked when Global Shift’s founder, Christoph Zelig, claims there are bugs in the software, or someone in the New York office has manipulated data.

Jacob Sawyer, a climate change sceptic, and Solomon Bellingham, the minister for the environment, scheme the greatest swindle of all times, and a done-deal with a major civil engineering company guarantees Sawyer a kick-back that will set him up for life.

Faced with the possibility of inaccurate data outputs, Claudia is torn between reuniting with the man she loves, loyalty to the people who helped her build the company, and revealing the truth. She has two choices; tell the Prime Minister everything, and ruin her company. Or say nothing, and claim the personal happiness she craves.
