ABOUT THE BOOK
It’s the December of ’93, and Jeremy and Melissa are thrilled to be spending their holidays at their elusive Uncle Jack’s farm for the very first time. However, on arrival, they soon suspect he does not want them there; he is rude, dismissive, and secretive. Not to mention scruffy and disreputable. Trouble followed when he was found guilty of drugging harness horses, which led to the town folks’ disdain for both him and his family.
Isolated, the children try to put the pieces together in an attempt to clear their uncle’s name and solve this puzzle. Instead, they find themselves trapped in a tangled web of unsavory characters, threats, and risks that endanger their very existence.
This fast-paced adventure weaves its mystery, excitement, and fear in the remote Australian bush against a background of harness racing, shady dealings, and ultimate revenge.
