Event Duration: 120 minutes
Meet Dr Ella Canfield. Not yet thirty but already highly qualified in the field of evolutionary biology. Attractive, if perhaps a little serious-looking in those heavy glasses; but then she needs to look serious. Dr Canfield is seeking funding for a highly unorthodox research project. She wants to prove that an extinct animal still roams in one of Australia’s most popular national parks.
Meet Daniel Metcalf. Young, good-looking, expensively dishevelled; far too rich to be taken seriously. He heads the Metcalf Trust, which donates money to offbeat scientific research projects. And he has a personal history with the Tasmanian Tiger.
When Daniel Metcalf meets Dr Canfield there will be sparks, chemistry. Interest at the very least. More importantly, there will be a cheque for $25,000. Or at least that’s what Della Gilmore’s banking on.
Problem number one: There is no such person as Dr Ella Canfield.
Problem number two: Della Gilmore, professional con artist, has never met anyone like Daniel Metcalf before.
Someone is going to take a fall.
An exhilarating, sexy read from the author of Addition, Fall Girl is a story about passion and loyalty, deceit and integrity, and the importance of believing in things that don’t exist.
