Aside from the all the local minor news items such as the Planet’s most expensive sewage scheme, an ambulance station, a new wharf and the possibility of a major landslip; nothing compares with the release of a new novel, The Benefactor’s Son, by Nigel Ferguson.
A tense and simmering international intrigue thriller from the mould of vintage Le Carré and Forsyth . . .
Harry Trimble Jr. is stopped and questioned by police in Hong Kong, in relation to his recently deceased father’s numerous trips there. His love-interest in Hong Kong, Sue White, also lost her father in suspicious circumstances. Both older men were friends. Were their deaths from natural causes or was something more sinister in play?
Harold Sr. had been unknowingly funding certain illegal activities around the globe; horrifying initiatives which son Harry finds to be not only corrupt but organised on a global scale. It is knowledge which will put both him and Sue in mortal danger.
In their globetrotting investigation from Christchurch to Hong Kong, the Middle East and Europe, Harry and Sue will unravel the mystery of what happened to her own father, Harold’s long-time friend, David. But in the process, they may also learn things they would rather not know about; Harold Trimble’s most shocking secret yet . . .
