The Jessica Trilogy Book
1
In
trying to clear her name of murder and regain her family's reputation, Jessica
Wyeth's actions unwittingly threaten to expose the business behind the money of
a U.S. based terrorist cell.
Jessica was born with traits she just could not hide – beauty, cunning, and innate skills to survive. She is blocked from taking her rightful position in the lucrative family business of high stakes horse racing by her farm’s manager and top trainer, Gus Adams. When Gus is found brutally murdered, all evidence points to Jessica. Terrified, she runs and becomes a master at hiding in plain view.
The process of building a new life around an assumed identity is derailed when she is recognized by the organization that destroyed her family. This time, instead of running away, she heads back to Boston, racing against time to find answers. Her search for the truth uncovers the cold reality that the Charity will stop at nothing to succeed in its mission.
Set in the rolling hills of Kentucky and the streets of Boston, "The Charity" exposes that Jessica is not the only one hidden in the daylight.
What reviewers say:
"The Charity" brings the reader on a journey from innocence to guilt on the coercive power of a terrorist's heart. Introducing the reader first into the hatred and evil of a clandestine cell, the author masterfully manipulates their sympathies to bring them closer to understanding the reasons behind the terror. The history and the people of the Irish Republican Army are used to weave a story that is as compelling as it is timely. "The Charity" will keep the reader glued to their seat until the last page is turned.
A legal thriller and suspense novel, "The Charity" will delivers an incredibly suspense reading experience.

"The Jessica Trilogy follows the
ongoing saga of heiress Jessica Wyeth, who finds herself embroiled in a scandal
that involves high stakes horse racing (flat and steeplechasing), longstanding
Irish political violence and prejudice, and secret networks of high-powered men
exploiting an [organization] worth untold, but absurd, sums of money...The
Charity is...an enthralling read with great horse sequences and...a
wonderful and thrilling escape."

About the Author
Connie
Johnson Hambley grew up on a small dairy farm just north of New York City. When
she was a child, an arsonist burned her family's barn to the ground. From that
experience grew the stories that became "The Charity" and "The
Troubles."
Hambley writes about strong women from their perspective in situations that demand the most from them. No special powers, no gadgets, no super human abilities. Just a woman caught up or embroiled in something that she has to get out of, hopefully alive.
Every bit of personal experience is used to create a story that is as believable as it is suspenseful. Using her law and investment background in ways unique, creative, but not altogether logical, Hambley has enjoyed robust professional pursuits that include writing for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Nature Biotechnology. Experience at a major bank in Boston introduced her to clever schemes dreamed up to launder money.
Hambley writes page-turners and "The Charity" is the first The Jessica Trilogy. "The Troubles" continues the story. Look for updates and information on
