“I think I spent all day with a murderer”

-

July 18th 2009, on a school trip to New Caledonia, 15 year-old Brenda Lin could never imagine that it would be the last time she would see her parents and siblings. The brutal Lin family’s massacre shocks Australia, as Brenda is orphaned overnight. With nowhere to go, Brenda turns to the nearest support she can find, but what she doesn't know, is that she is stepping into a trap set up by her family's killer, and only SHE holds the key to take him down.
