It's a long way from her home on a quiet farm in the Marlborough Sounds to the bustle of downtown Toronto, but Robyn Taylor is a fearless and practical woman who can turn her hand to anything, including some very inventive punishments when necessary. When she discovers that Colwyn Symons has defrauded her family of thousands of dollars, leading to her father's death, she has to take action. Colwyn's enjoyment of a high-rolling lifestyle in the big city will come to an abrupt end if she can only get her hands on him.
Mike Kent, a Canadian insurance investigator, persuades Robyn to help gather evidence that will put an end to Colwyn's continuing frauds, but both of them underestimate the criminal's cold-blooded greed. When she faces kidnapping and attempted murder, Robyn's survival skills are severely tested.
Just when it seems that Colwyn may have got away with it, justice strikes from an unexpected direction.
