Prisoners of Hope: An Amanda Doucette Mystery (An Amanda Doucette Mystery, 3)

Amanda Doucette finds herself drawn into the world of exploited foreign workers when she rescues a Filipino nanny accused of murdering her wealthy employer. Georgian Bay: a spectacular terrain of granite shores, deserted islands, and infinite sparkling bays. As part of her cross-Canada charity tour, Amanda has planned a kayaking trip in the area for families from a poor rural Ontario community. While exploring some remote islands offshore, she and a local tour guide rescue a frightened young woman whose boat has capsized in the lake. In an apparent act of kindness, the tour guide takes the woman to shore, leaving Amanda stranded. But when news surfaces that a wealthy doctor has died at his estate and his Filipino nanny has gone missing, Amanda fears far more sinister forces at work. When the young tour guide is found dead on a nearby island, she and RCMP officer Chris Tymko race to prevent more innocent deaths.

"Georgian Bay: a spectacular terrain of granite shores, deserted islands, and infinite sparkling bays. As part of her cross-Canada charity tour, Amanda has organized a kayaking trip in the area for families from a poor rural Ontario community. While kayaking in a remote bay, the group rescues a young Filipino woman stranded on a small island. She has no money or I.D., and is terrified. Amanda soon learns that the wealthy owner of a nearby Georgian Bay waterfront mansion has been murdered and the police are searching for the family's nanny. The woman begs for Amanda's help, insisting no one will believe she is innocent. Complicating matters further, Amanda learns that members of her kayaking group knew the murdered man, who was universally disliked by the locals for reasons that no one will reveal."-- Provided by publisher Set against the stunning backdrop of Georgian Bay, Amanda Doucette finds herself drawn into the world of exploited foreign workers when she meets a Filipino nanny accused of murdering her wealthy employer
