‘Where In The Dark’
Where In The Dark is the new book by Author Karen Millie-James.
Based on the author’s own family history, this enthralling thriller explores the dark secrets of stolen Nazi gold and the hunt for justice and redemption.
Two bearer bonds each worth one million pounds arrive at the homes of two Holocaust survivors, with no clues as to their origin. Fearing their lives are once again in danger, they enlist the help of Corporate Forensic Investigator, Cydney Granger, to track down the bonds’ origins and bring the demons of their past to justice.
Along with her top team of investigators at Granger Associates, Cydney enters the secretive world of international banking to uncover a web of corruption, blackmail, murder and stolen Nazi treasures. With a little help from beyond the grave, Cydney’s investigation will bring her face to face with an escaped Nazi criminal living under an assumed name whose son is running for the US presidency, and an insidious conspiracy with the power to destroy one of America’s oldest banking dynasties.
Meanwhile, Cydney is plagued with doubts over the unexplained death of her husband, Captain Steve Granger, in Afghanistan five years earlier. Although she finds comfort in raising their teenage twins and manages to find love once again, Cydney struggles to move on from the ghost of her own past. Together with her trusted protector, Sergeant Sean O’Connell, they seek to discover the truth behind Steve’s disappearance, no matter the cost.
