About the Book:
In 2013, Adam's granddaughter Lisa started to explore her family history and found that Angie was the key role to uncover the secret of the Fox family. A story started in 1914 with passion and revenge, loyalty and love.
Adam Fox was the owner of the Palace, a ridiculous sprawling luxury hotel in the Blue Mountain of New South Wales. In 1914 his only son died, and suspicion fell on Angie Wood.
"It was Angie who broke all our hearts." What happened to her?
This mystery novel reflects 20th-century Australian society on some degree, and it delves into little-known aspects such as the treatment during WWI of people who had either German ancestry or family connections and were sent to concentration camps and then deported.
