A matter of trust

Jeanne Ryckmans grew up in Canberra the daughter of a Chinese mother and a father who was a famous scholar.

Her happy childhood gave her a trusting nature and a sense of security; and she went on to become a distinguished publisher and literary agent.

In 2016 Jeanne met 'the Irish Professor', a globe-trotting academic with a taste for first-class travel and luxury.

They fell into a heady relationship, until Jeanne began to realise the Professor was hiding a secret life.

When Jeanne tried to break off the relationship, things deteriorated in a way she could never have imagined.
