Death Down Under

by Domingo Rocha

Yolanda Prescott, a 27 year old world-class computer hacker, is attempting to escape the stress of unresolved family issues on a trip to New Zealand. However, on the first morning of her vacation she wakes to find a dead man lying next to her. Quickly exonerated, she tries to resume her vacation only to have an attempt made on her life which starts her on a run across the South Island of New Zealand. Normally she uses her computer skills to locate deadbeat dads and runaway moms. (As she puts it, “It isn’t much of a living, but it’s honest work - if not entirely legal.”) Now she is compelled to use them to solve the mystery of the dead body. In the ensuing chase Yolanda discovers a secret so powerful that members of the New Zealand Government will stop at nothing to silence her, but thanks to her natural feistiness, she remains one step ahead of the bad guys. Her ensuing struggles teach her life lessons vital to healing the open wounds remaining from her mother’s tragic death.
