SERENDIPITY

/serənˈdipədē/       noun

serendipity; plural noun: serendipities

The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

“It was a fortunate stroke of serendipity!”

On a perfect day in 1984, a young Charlie spends her seventh birthday with her loving parents at Coney Island. But it’s a day that ends in tragedy.

We then jump forward to chart the lives of our two main characters Oliver and Charlie (Charlotte) Diamond. They wake up one day, knowing that they have something very important to do, something that will change their lives, forever. But, they are doing this without each other’s knowledge.


Oliver, a famous movie star, is blackmailed over a murder cover-up from when he first arrived in Hollywood as a fresh-faced, young actor. He finally must face his past.

Charlie, a successful New York photographer, harbors a mysterious family secret, and after crossing paths with her father’s killer, she enlists help from her trusty friends to exact her revenge.


Sprinkled with suspense, humor, and ‘page-turning cliff-hangers’.
