More than just a mystery!Carrie, a computer tech for Fairview Resort, is asked by the head of security to find a college student who worked at the resort who's disappeared. She agrees to help find the girl, but she also leads a group who call themselves the “Rescue Rangers” who help victims of domestic violence by taking them to safety, advising them of their legal rights and responsibilities, and arranging counseling. Add the new attorney, Drew Martin, to the team and suddenly things get... complicated. As her search for Gwen narrows, Carrie worries that she may be in need of help from the Rangers, too. It turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg and puts Carrie squarely in the crosshairs of some dangerous people.

For many years, Lyn and Ros Rogers were the owners of Drifters, a famous game farm and backpacker lodge in the eastern mountains. But when President Robert Mugabe launched his violent land reclamation programme, everything changed. The Rogers found their home under siege, their friends and neighbours expelled, and their lives in danger. But instead of leaving, as their son pleaded with them to do, they hauled out a shotgun and stayed. Soon afterwards, Douglas returns to find the country of his birth in chaos, and his home transformed into something between a Marx Brothers romp and the Heart of Darkness: marijuana has supplanted maize in the fields; hookers have replaced gap-year kids as guests; soldiers, spies and teenage diamond dealers down beers at the bar. Beyond the farm gates, armed war veterans loyal to Mugabe circle like hungry lions. And yet, in spite of it all, the Rogers - with the help of friends and locals, black political dissidents among them - hold on. And Douglas begins to see his parents in a new light: unbowed, even heroic. In the process he learns that the "big story" he had pursued throughout his adult life was actually happening in his own backyard. The Last Resort is an inspiring, edgy roller-coaster adventure, but also a deeply moving testament to the love and loyalty inspired by Zimbabwe and her people.

When the head of security for Fairview Mountain Resort calls troubleshooter Carrie Anderson about a missing coed, she answers. He knows that on the side Carrie is the leader of a team that helps domestic violence victims escape their homes and abusers. What she finds while searching for the missing coed, though, will test her skills at making people disappear and put the lives of her and her friends at risk.
