The Flame Trees

For 33-year-old Charlotte Dawson, a schoolteacher from the city of Adelaide, the 19th of November 1996 had been just like any other day. It wasn't until she arrived home at her flat in the beachside suburb of Glenelg that things changed. She'd just opened the door when the phone rang. The caller was a woman from a solicitor's office in Darwin advising her that she was to receive an inheritance from someone unknown to her. At first, Charlotte thought the caller had made a mistake, as she had no knowledge of any relative ever living in Darwin. The caller insisted that there was no mistake and advised that a meeting in their offices in Darwin was of the utmost importance. Reluctantly, Charlotte agrees, and the following day she travels to Darwin for her meeting with Mr. Paul Rosenberg, senior partner of the legal firm Rosenberg and Gately. A meeting that will change her life forever.
