On a dark night in far north Queensland, Australia, a car runs off the road and bursts into flames. Driving closely behind Noel Valentine doesn’t hesitate to pull over and drag one of the occupants to safety. In rescuing David Cameron she has an inkling of what she may be setting in train, but no idea that one outcome will be a fight for her own life. His baggage includes a shady lawyer, traitors and money launderers.

Would she have saved him if she had known she would be facing sharks of the finned as well as the two-legged variety?

Her aim? Could it be to stay alive?

A Complicated Affair

Chuck now passed the snacks tray around.


'Noel has been telling me she wants to organise my ambassadorial duties,' he said to Nick. 'Do we need organising?'


William interjected loudly. 'She's putting together a proposal, that's all.'


'That's all,' she said, cursing two instead of one.


Nick thought it was time to leave and said so, adding, 'I'm willing to listen, but I don't think we need it.' He shook hands. 'We'll see you all Sunday night?'


As they negotiated the stairs Chuck said in a voice not intended to reach William, 'I was serious about the cabinet.'


'I was serious about the refusal.' On the footpath she said, 'Thank you for showing us around, and the hospitality.'


'Honey,' he said, steadying William before letting go, 'we'll have to do it again. See you Sunday.'


'What will we do again?' William asked.


'Have drinks. Here's a taxi; you take it. I'll see you tomorrow.'
