Lest We Forgive
Description
A late night. An icy road. A car wrapped around a tree. When Detective Liz Moorland stares at the lifeless faces of her ex-colleague's daughter and son-in-law, she knows it is enough to push Vince Carter over the edge. Vince, a bitter and reclusive retired cop, was once a hero to many. But in his eyes, he has failed those he most loved. Estranged from his daughter before her death, the enormity of his loss is immeasurable. While Liz's hands are full chasing an escaped criminal, Vince-alongside his fight for custody of Melanie, his eight-year-old granddaughter and sole survivor of the wreck-pieces together a compelling theory that the crash was no accident. Vince's theory provides Liz with an unexpected connection to her case and simultaneously raises concerns over Melanie's safety and what she saw that fateful night. Those concerns are justified. One person knows what the little girl saw. The killer.

Person
Phillipa grew up around lonely Australian beaches with wild seas and misty cliffs. From a young age she wrote stories and dreamed of being a writer. There were many detours along the way as she trod paths as diverse as a travelling sales rep to singing and acting. Fascinated by film, Phillipa wrote five feature length screenplays, one which was optioned. Now living in regional Victoria on a small acreage close to a mountain range, she markets the family business a few days a week and writes the rest of the time. With nonfiction credits for specialist canine publications, she finally returned to stories with the release of The Stationmaster's Cottage, a dual timeline romance, in February 2017. Her great loves, apart from writing, are her family of two young adult sons and her husband, their Labrador, music, fine wine, and friends.
