In the 1950s, Maria von Trapp, whose life inspired The Sound of Music, is furious when she sees the musical’s script and confronts lyricist Oscar Hammerstein. Directed to his secretary, Fran, Maria shares her true story—a novice-turned-wife who led her family’s escape from the Nazis—revealing how much of her life differs from the musical. An unexpected friendship forms between the two women.
Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him when he comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy's business now. Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private security officer, she doesn't stay still long enough for habits or routines. She's currently on a remote island keeping world-famous author Rosie D'Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job... Then a dead body, a bag of money, and a killer with their sights on Amy have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a lethal enemy?
