Book description
By agreeing to work for a new client, who claims she’s a police detective, Jonathan Miller sets in motion a sequence of catastrophic events which result in devastating consequences, both for himself and his family.
He joins forces with an old adversary. A man he’s terrified of, yet, when you’re backed in to a corner, this man can always find a way to get you out alive. Together they attempt to solve the brutal assassination of a young woman. In doing so they uncover secrets which have been hidden away for decades. Secrets involving some of the most powerful people in the world.
My review -
Jonathan
Miller leads a double life. He acts as an escort in the evenings, which his
wife is quite happy about. The man he works for is effectively a gangster and
Miller would like to get out of the business and settle down to a more law-abiding
life – but his boss won’t let him quit without some payback. The story is
steeped in murky business but the top layer of Miller’s life is glitzy and
glamorous. It’s a hard thing to give up. Although he’s mixed up in some nasty
business, you can’t help rooting for Miller and hoping things work out for him.
It’s an exciting story and packed with action, as all Angie Smith’s books are, and
I enjoyed it.
