The Family Tree

By Greig Robert Whitelaw

In the lush tropics of Port Douglas, two lives are bound by a dark family secret that stretches back generations.

Elizabeth, an ex-policewoman and amateur genealogist is haunted by the tragic death of her grandfather and is driven by a fierce need for revenge. Not only for her grandfather, but for the horrific upbringing she endured at the hands of a father, whose own life spiralled out of control when he was orphaned.

As she seeks retribution, she targets the descendants of the man she holds responsible for her family's ruin, including David, a retired airline pilot who is one of her potential victims and knows nothing of the shadows cast by his own family history, until Elizabeth reaches out. As secrets unravel, their lives collide in a tense and unexpected romance that could heal old wounds or ignite a final devastating conflict.

Is it possible for love to erase the misery and hurt she has suffered during her lifetime? But as Elizabeth dares to dream about a future with David, she can't help being tormented by the possibility of him discovering the secrets that she keeps.

"The Family Tree" is a gripping Australian crime thriller, blending suspense, mystery and romance against the stunning backdrop of Far North Queensland.

This book is perfect for fans of psychological drama, dark family sagas and stories where love and revenge collide.
