Captivating and action-packed, Lasseter's Truth is reminiscent of Wilbur Smith, Bryce Courtney and Clive Cussler; an Australian adventure that moves from city boardrooms to the outback. A Daughter ... Born to privilege, Tess Johnson has it all - beauty, brains and a loving family. But even the beautiful people can have their problems. Tess is cruelly expelled from Australia's most prestigious public school, - and her problems are only just beginning ... A Father ... Jack Johnson is an Australian success story, but fighting hard in Vietnam and working hard back home are not enough to guarantee 'happily ever after'. Jack is disgraced in his turn to wear the one accusation that no man can survive in normal life and flees to the Great Australian Desert in search of Lasseter's Reef, determined to return rich and clear his name ... A Legend ... Lasseter's Reef is one of the great unresolved legends of Australia's outback. Back in 1930, Harold Bell Lasseter claimed to have discovered a fabulous gold reef five miles long deep in the Great Sandy Desert. He died in an attempt to relocate the reef and despite a number of expeditions it has never been found. Is it there? Jack Johnson sets out to find out, but he is not the only one looking - a mysterious Chinese company called 888 is buying up leases and there have been unexplained deaths in the centre. Lasseter's Truth sets right some big lies of the past and answers some big questions of our time. Lasseter's Truth follows them both as they take on the odds. A story that ranges from the greed of the nineties, into a famous legend of Australia's outback, with a compelling climax for our own time.
