Introducing the FALSE TRUST Locations

FALSE TRUST is an international thriller that takes place globally. While most of the action is in Tasmania, and Sydney and the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, Australia, FALSE TRUST locations begin in Aberlour, Scotland, moving to Canada and into Minneapolis and Albany in Minnesota, and spends time in Boston before ending up in Australia, with closure back in Aberlour, Scotland 125 years later.

Other main and secondary characters come from Russia and China, with others from Poland and Ireland. The interaction of cultures sometimes clash and is misunderstood, as the each character is shaped by their upbringing and where they came from. All are finding their way to a new life in Australia, trying to fit into the Australian culture and lifestyle.

But the book is as much about settings as it is about people. Why did Great-grandpa Willis bring 50 KG of Scottish barley to Minnesota? What secrets were stolen from the Russian FSB in Moscow? Where did Bronko train as an elite member of the Polish GROM? What made Justin leave the UK and move to Albany, Minnesota? What Chinese secrets were archived in Shanghai that later play a role in the story? Settings enrich plot and FALSE TRUST is loaded with exotic settings that are relevant as the plot unfolds.
