Project ALICE — Sam Skyborne

How much of our reality is driven by our deepest, darkest desires? Alice lives a sheltered, controlled existence, or so it seems, until one day, while in one of the most beautiful locations in the world — Cape Town, South Africa — she is presented with an unmissable opportunity to change everything. However, life rarely turns out exactly as expected, and soon she finds herself drawn from the sunny seaside filled with promise and optimistic new beginnings into the dark unseen underbelly of a city on the edge where life is cheap and theft, murder and trafficking is business as usual. What lies ahead for her is a dangerous rollercoaster ride of self-discovery, love and betrayal that pushes her to the very limits of her sanity. Meanwhile, for P.I. Toni Mendez, the honeymoon seems over as she faces troubles at home with her long-time best friend — recently turned girlfriend. So, when what looks like a 'simple missing person case' in a coveted holiday destination crosses her desk, she grabs it as an ideal opportunity to take time out. Little does she realise, this case won't be the stroll on a beach she had hoped for. *** Winner of 2018 - NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite - World Literature ****** Winner of 2018 - NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite - LGBTQ+ *** Compelling, intriguing, fascinating and a terrific read!Multi-layered and intelligently plotted...Bravo!An utterly absorbing read.A rare gripping novel which has great lesbian characters to boot. If you fancy a gripping, fast-paced, mystery thriller with a startling twist and a romance thrown in, set in a city that offers a picturesque tourist haven by day and a dark, gritty subculture by night — then Project: ALICE is for you! Read it today to join Toni and Alice on a mind-blowing adventure.
