Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2030, World Correction Center – the Earth’s most secure prison – is a miserable place to land. Since it’s on the moon, it’s inescapable. It contains the worst criminals Earth has ever seen. So why are the brilliant minds across the globe being sent to this black hole of the justice system. When renown archaeologist Micky Cooper is charged with embezzling, his sister Susan knows it’s a set up.\u00a0 It’s up to her to prove his innocence. Susan thinks she might be paranoid but she swears she’s being followed and should she trust the nice man whose cousin has disappeared as well? Was it a chance meeting or is he against her too? Teaming up with Greg Tanner, a man equally resolved to prove the innocence of his cousin, Samantha Tanner – a word leading linguist – Susan and Greg seek clues wherever they can find them, but they’re barely keeping one step ahead of those who want them to stop.\u00a0 They begin to unravel the web of lies, fraud and cover up. Just when they start to put pieces together, Susan and Greg are forced to run for their lives.\u00a0 With a nudge from Samantha they find someone to help. Is this woman an ally? Or simply part of a greater conspiracy to hide the truth? What exactly is on the moon and why are the Earth’s greatest minds being sent there to serve time?<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Excerpt:
\n<\/strong>Could the government really make someone disappear? The little voice in her head replied, \u2018yes they could. Taking a step back into the alley, she watched Greg enter the coffee shop. \u201cOkay. Do I trust his or not?\u201d she muttered. \u201cWhat if I just listen? Would it hurt to listen?<\/p>\n

\u201cShit, I\u2019m nutso standing in a dark alley talking to myself,\u201d Susan said. Closing her eyes, she tried to consider her gut instinct. She didn\u2019t know. At five minutes past, she raised her chin and opted to trust – for now.<\/p>\n

Looking both ways, she crossed the street. She deliberately wore practical clothes, tennis shoes, blue jeans, and a tank top. Over the top, she wore a hooded sweatshirt. Seeing herself reflected in the glass door, she wondered if she dressed too casual. Too late to change now.<\/p>\n

He sat in the back facing the door. A smile lit his face as soon as he saw her. Is he faking it?\u00a0 It looks like a real smile.\u00a0 <\/em>He stood, sort of old fashioned but Susan liked it. He seems sincere.<\/em> Feeling awkward for analysing his every expression, she approached the table. \u201cHi.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t sure you\u2019d come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe neither,\u201d she slid into the booth. He sat opposite her as the waitress brought their coffee. \u201cThey have a good peach pie here.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really good today,\u201d the waitress said<\/p>\n

\u201cGive us two pieces,\u201d Greg said.<\/p>\n

Waiting for the waitress to leave, Susan assessed him. She liked what she saw but this was not a date. \u201cDid you find out more about your cousin,\u201d she asked as she sipped her coffee<\/p>\n

\u201cA colleague of hers said she worked day and night on a project. It\u2019s who my appointment was with yesterday,\u201d he said. \u201cI know how she gets. She has a puzzle, and she won\u2019t stop until she solves it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think she got sent to the moon as well,\u201d Susan reached out to touch his hand. It felt warm and strong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he said. He gripped her hand. \u201cThey said a secured facility. The moon is for the worst of the worst\u2026 or so their website says.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prisoners are only allowed visitors once a month,\u201d she said. \u201cI get they\u2019re bad people but they still deserve to have visits. Do you know how much it costs to get to the moon?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d go,\u201d Greg said. \u201cI watched a few of the first launches.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have the shuttle now,\u201d Susan said. \u201cI saw a video of a recent launch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom their site,\u201d Greg asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo this was on the internet,\u201d Susan said. \u201cIt was in one of the chat rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a bit of a computer geek,\u201d Greg grinned.<\/p>\n

She liked his smile, firm lips surrounding white teeth, a light in his eyes indicated laughter even though he hadn\u2019t laughed yet. \u201cA bit,\u201d she said. \u201cI tinker a bit with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we believe our loved ones are innocent,\u201d Greg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do,\u201d Susan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen how were they both falsely accused and convicted of crimes they didn\u2019t commit,\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more than that,\u201d Susan said. \u201cNot only were they convicted but they were sent to the worst prison. Why? How does it serve them? What could they have been working on to annoy someone so much they wanted them out of the picture? They timed it well.\u00a0 I was out of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWait, so was I,\u201d Greg interrupted.<\/p>\n

\u201cSee, it\u2019s no coincidence you and I, their closest relatives, were out of the country. That\u2019s what we\u2019re talking about isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg sat back and rubbed a hand through his hair. \u201cWhat if it wasn\u2019t they wanted them out of the picture but rather, they needed them on the moon for some purpose,\u201d Greg asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t they just ask them to work for them or with them,\u201d Susan countered.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe they did but they turned them down,\u201d Greg leaned forward again gripping her hands.<\/p>\n

Susan glanced at their hands. \u201cThis is crazy. You know what this sounds like?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a couple of conspiracy theorists,\u201d Greg shook his head.<\/p>\n

She couldn\u2019t look at him, staring at their hands she considered all they discussed. Could the government kidnap scientists?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2026 I\u2019m staying at my brother\u2019s house,\u201d she said slowly. \u201cI\u2019ll have a look through his things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWant help,\u201d Greg asked.<\/p>\n

She stared into his warm caramel eyes. Did she trust him? Was this too convenient? She hadn\u2019t a clue how to help Micky, but could she rely on this man? With a deep breath, she said, \u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The waitress returned with two plates of pie. Greg asked, \u201cI\u2019m really sorry. Can we get those to go?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSure,\u201d she said. They rose and followed her to the counter.<\/p>\n

Susan paid, she insisted on it. As they stepped out of the coffee shop, Susan saw a flash of light. Across the street, a black SUV parked in the line of mid-sized cars. It looked out of place. She couldn\u2019t see the plates. Were they watching her, following her?<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything all right,\u201d Greg asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, it\u2019s not,\u201d Susan said walking away from the street. \u201cHave you ever felt like you were being followed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d he scanned the street. \u201cMore often recently.\u201d<\/p>\n

She stepped close to him, pulled him close to her. She brushed her lips across his. His arms slowly closed around her. \u201cI think we\u2019re being watched,\u201d she murmured as she made it look like they flirted and had an assignation rather than plotting\u2026 whatever they were plotting.<\/p>\n
