Tall, tanned and blonde, Rachel Edmistone, forty-something mother of three, lives in sparkling, harbourside Sydney and is married to the perfect man – Adrian, who has the looks to match his piles of cash.
Or so she thinks.
Rachel is the powerhouse behind the star-studded Butterfly Ball, a fundraiser for humanitarian causes in Sydney and Sri Lanka. She also runs a busy PR company.
Then tragedy strikes. Adrian is killed in a freak accident – she is left in overwhelming grief and massive debt.
When the stars align for a fresh start in Sri Lanka, will Rachel have the courage to take a chance on herself and discover what riches really mean?
The Reluctant Spy is a sumptuous trip from Sydney to Sri Lanka – one that shows no paradise is ever quite what it seems.
