Legacy

For no apparent reason, the father of eighteen-year-old schoolgirl, Marian Fairfax, is brutally murdered and, alone in the world, she is plunged into a terrifying spiral of violence.
Aided by an ex-SAS soldier, she attempts to discover who caused her father's death, and why. She also has to stay alive - no mean feat under the circumstances.
An inheritance, jewels left to her by her mother, takes on a startling significance when she discovers that the death of her father is directly related to the existence of the sapphires.
Someone, somewhere, will stop at nothing to obtain the jewellery, and also Marian herself, in order to learn the mysterious secrets they seem to contain.
