Camera Obscura

Synopsis

Photojournalist Bart Zacharin's Camera Doesn't Lie ... But His Mysterious New Lover Minnie Cuff Lies For A Living. Love-struck Bart Can't Get That Into Focus Until He Follows Her From Australia On Her Flimsily Excused Trip To Europe And Becomes Embroiled In An Obscure Web Of International Organised Crime, Deception And Death. Minnie's A Fake. Her Humdrum Job As A Computer Programmer, Her Deceptively Carefree Style, And Passionate Affair With Bart Merely Provide An Innocent Front For Her Sinister Role As Key Player In A Ring Of Ruthless Museum Raiders And Smugglers Of Priceless Artefacts. Bart Tries To Take Charge In A Bid To Reform Her On A Dash Around Some Of Europe's Most Colourful Port Cities That Becomes A Frantic Race For Life Itself, With Deadly Danger Throwing Shadows At Every Twist And Turn. Fast Moving Yet Poignant, Camera Obscura Is One Desperate Man's Struggle With Obsessive Love That Competes With A Million-dollar Crime Empire: A Search For Meaning And Belonging, Thwarted By Everyday Happenstance And Misfortune. As In Her Previous Novels 'death In Malta' And 'according To Luke', The Characters In 'camera Obscura' Become As Real As Dingli's Meticulously Researched Locations. True Paintings, Stamps, And Rare Antiquarian Books Delicately Spice Pages That Seem To Turn In The Wind As Her Breakneck-speed Story Keeps The Reader In Chair-edge Suspense, Right Up To A Startlingly Unforeseen And Unforgettable Climax.
