Evita and Me
So you think you know about Evita? No, you don't.
Ask Mona, her confidant, or Pierre, her bodyguard. They have the inside track.
Argentina fell in love with Eva Peron during her lifetime. The world followed suit later with the help of a Broadway musical about her Life, Evita. But there is much we don't know about the first lady of Argentina. For example, where are her jewels? They seem to have disappeared. Mona can tell you where they are — in a vault in the Swiss Alps.
Like Eva herself, Mona comes from a broken family and has to make her own way. Perhaps that's why the two women feel close. Evita is at the pinnacle of success but already in the grip of a fatal illness. We see her life through the eyes of Mona and Pierre, two people she trusts -- and who betray her in the end. Or can theft and murder be justified?

“This is a fast paced page turner. A suspenseful, thrilling
roller coaster ride with lots of twisty, loopy sections. Head
Games is an apt title for this enthralling read.“

“Identity's a big theme in this work, so if you've ever felt you
were someone other than yourself, if you thought you might like
to try living in someone else's skin, if you've wondered whether
your friends and loved ones were not exactly who they claimed to
be, then this psychological labyrinth might just be your winding
road to a good read”.

“This was a book that grabbed me from the start. It's a period
in history that offered much to the world but also had some of
man's darkest moments. Due to that it does provide rich material
for a novelist and Ms. Rummel does an excellent job of taking
her reader on a dangerous journey through the twists and turns
of what many faced during the time. The characters are well
developed and defined. The scenes are well described and I found
myself feeling like I was actually walking the streets with the
characters of the book.”

unmatched!”

believe it would be suited for adaptation to a mini-series or

down”
