Immunity
by Debra Moffitt
Set in Geneva, Switzerland in 2020, Jon Smyth, a high-ranking diplomat involved in profiting from human trafficking, loves power and status. Publicly he portrays himself as a humanitarian and he’s nominated for a humanitarian award, but when Aurelia, a private language tutor, discovers the secrets he’s hiding in his personal life, she threatens to reveal them to the public and the police. But Smythe’s a protected man with diplomatic status who may literally get away with murder. Naïve Aurelia is drawn into a world of corruption and power. Unaware of the influential and sometimes violent forces opposing her, she will stop at nothing to help the child victims of the crimes she unwittingly uncovers, but it may be at the cost of her own life. As the story unfolds, Aurelia’s nightmares plague her with scenes of being murdered by a WWII Nazi officer. She suspects that Smyth was that officer, and she fears he will attempt to murder her again. But she has a choice and can step into her power if she dares. Will she break the pattern of victim and save herself and many other girls from a terrible fate? Or will she and Jon Smythe repeat this terrible loss of life once again? Immunity is another suspenseful novel about the journey of a group of souls where anything can happen. COVER IS PRELIMINARY DRAFT
