The Plantation Michelle Larmer

The Plantation is a gripping story of love, friendship, murder and betrayal, set in the untamed wilderness of Papua New Guinea.




The mysterious death of a woman decades ago in the remote PNG Highlands intrigues ambitious journalist, Jessica McCann, who embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. As the mystery unfolds, so does Jessica's attraction for the rugged region and its brooding inhabitants. But it's not until the skeletal remains of a seemingly unrelated photojournalist are unearthed that Jess knows she's stumbled onto the story of a lifetime.



After moving to the Pacific Island nation as a Foreign Correspondent, Jess meets charismatic coffee plantation owner Clancy Jonson and his moody son, Dom, who still can't forgive his father for banishing him to boarding school after his mother's mysterious passing.



Jess and Dom form an uneasy alliance in their quest to find out what really happened to Dom's mother in that sweeping plantation house all those years ago.




The Plantation navigates the themes of family loyalty, heartbreak, deceit and the secrets that bring us together-or tear us apart.
