Book
In the serene setting of Vanuatu's Santo Island, tranquillity shatters when the lifeless body of a French farmer, Guy Simeon, is discovered on the pristine white sands of Champagne Beach. As they delve deeper, a labyrinth of secrets, coercion, and lies emerges. Simeon's missing wife and strained relationship with his son paint a complex picture of his troubled life. Moreover, his financial woes and grievous interactions with locals only deepen the pool of suspects. From the bustling port town of Luganville to the idyllic beaches and azure waters of Santo, George and Jayline tirelessly pursue leads, but find themselves entangled in a web of confusion with no clear motive, weapon, or suspect in sight. With no mourners for Simeon's demise, the duo faces an uphill battle to garner interest in solving the heinous crime. As they navigate through twists and turns, George and Jayline embark on a gripping journey, uncovering the truth in a chilling tale of murder, deception, and the dark underbelly of paradise.
