Death at Newport

Derryn Hinch

Newport, Rhode Island, 1974… The America's Cup challenge is on, and most eyes in the millionaire's playground are turned to the drama played out on the waters. But one Australian journalist is wrenched away from the challengewhen the fabulously wealthy Penelope Pike, a woman scarred by a lifetime of controversial liaisons, becomes the target of a kidnapper. A kidnapper whose motives are compounded by things more sinister… more personal… than a mere $5 million ransom. Reluctantly conscripted into a life-or-death situation that must be kept from police - and unable to give rein to his journalistic instinct to break the biggest crime story of the decade - Jonathan Hunter must find Penelope Pike before her tormentor can exact his revenge.
