Genre: Literary Fiction, Thriller, Mystery
Chris Nielson and Jane Murphy are in full mid-life crisis. Now, both in their forties, they realize they must grab life before it’s too late.
Due to a foolhardy decision, however, they find themselves caught up in the grubby world of child trafficking and are thrown together in their efforts to save Eva, a young refugee, from a criminal gang. Not always sure which side of the law they (or the people they meet) are on, their friendship strengthens, slowly developing into a deeper relationship.
Though the themes are, at times, dark, this is a feel-good story sprinkled with humor, supported by strong female characters and a fast-paced mystery adventure.

About the Author
A. L. Walsh started her writing career as an academic, publishing several books on literary criticism. Her first work of fiction, Treasure Trove, marked a change of direction where, instead of critiquing the work of others, she delved into the art of creating her own mystery story. Eva’s Gift is her second novel, another mystery, which revolves around her three favorite places in the world: Ireland, Spain and Australia. Irish by birth, Australian by adoption, Anne loves to use her experiences of travel to weave fast-paced stories that deal with real-life problems. She is especially interested in creating powerful characters who work together to solve the mystery, and who, with luck and love on their side, will live happily ever after.
