The Target - Paperback

by Riley Chance (Author)

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time - or was she?

Former US agent Marla Simmons is hiding in a quiet South Island town, hoping her past never finds her.

With an election looming, journalist Grace Marks is covering the escalating union protests - and someone is tracking her.

When a bomb rips through the Wellington union offices, echoing the unsolved 1984 Trades Hall blast, Grace is caught in the explosion. The official line that it is the work of a lone extremist doesn't add up. With security cameras everywhere, identifying the culprit should be easy, but the police and SIS investigations stall.

Marla must decide: was Grace in the wrong place at the wrong time - or was she the target?

A gripping New Zealand thriller. Someone planned this explosion. The question is why.
