Situation No Win oleh Leenna Naidoo

A deadly artefact, a woman too good to be true, and a murdered friend. Tom can’t outrun his destiny no matter the consequences.

Tom and Liu thought they’d made the discovery of a lifetime when the ancient relic they’re studying reveals amazing properties. Now, Liu’s dead and Tom’s on the run with few he can trust. Running into naive school teacher, Melissa, again could be Tom’s salvation—or his ruin if he can’t stop falling in love with her.

From the deserts of Shaanxi Province, China to the coast of South Africa, Tom and Melissa have to navigate history, dodge the unscrupulous and psychotic, and stay alive to rewrite their own stories. But with double-crosses and fiendish plans the order of the day, can they save themselves, and at what cost?

Reviewers are saying: I loved this Indiana Jones-type of adventure – exotic locations, a chase after ancient artefacts, a handsome, clever and resourceful hero and a heroine who stands her ground and holds her own. Throw in a bunch of baddies (even worse when one is a family member); a good dose of mystery and mysticism, and you have a page-turner on your hands. I could not put it down until I got to the end.
