Overview

Rock and roll royalty, Crystal Brooke has everything she always wanted ~ MONEY, FAME, POWER. At thirty-five she is the public face of an international children's fund, but feels uneasy. At eighteen, she sold her baby to a shady adoption agency. She figured a child would ruin her chance of making it big. Things get complicated. You gotta love Karma.

What happened?  When a naive Australian school girl joins a dancing troupe she certainly gets more experience in real life than she bargained for. Crystal a seventeen year old schoolgirl in Suburban Australia is disenchanted with life and itching for adventure. On a whim, she bluffs her way into an audition for the the White Diamonds, a dancing troupe touring South-East Asia. Infected by the glamour of life as a showgirl, the reckless woman-child is quickly drawn to Singapore's squalid underbelly. On the run from the Singaporean police, she falls for a good-looking muso, an irresponsible bad boy, not the kind to give your heart to ... but Crystal has always made bad choices. From the nightlife of Singapore to the rain-drenched jungles of Borneo, to the world of a rich and ambitious rock star, 'The White Amah' is the story of a dark secret and the consequences when a woman's past comes back to threaten the present.

About the Author

Ann Massey's life changed when the newspaper where she worked closed, leaving her unemployed and penniless. Passing herself off as a governess, she found employment on an isolated sheep station in Western Australia where she supervised lessons for three sweet-natured girls educated through the School of the Air. Unlike Jane Eyre, Ann didn’t find Mr. Rochester, but she did unearth the setting for her latest novel,The Biocide Conspiracy.

Striking out next for Borneo, Ann exchanged her no frills life in the outback for a mansion in Miri and the pampered world of an ex-pat. With time hanging heavy, Ann wrote her first novel. Tough, tender and unforgettable, The White Amah exposes the shocking practices of the timber logging industry in Malaysia.

Ann uses her personal knowledge of the Australian outback and the jungles of Borneo to give the fast-moving action of these novels a unique authenticity. Both books deal with lives lived on the edge, breath taking thrillers full of unexpected twists and turns. For a mystery novelist, inspiration is never far away.
