Synopsis

Gus is 24 and set on a glittering career as a barrister. Working on the divorces of the rich and bored she despairs of ever showing her worth. Then she is called to defend a drugs dealer and comes face-to-face, not only with her father's shady past, but with the man who killed her mother.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

FROM THE SEEDY LOWLIFE OF LONDON'S EAST END TO THE GLITTERING PRIZES OF THE INTERNATIONAL ART MARKET, AN INNOCENT WOMAN IS CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO VERY DIFFERENT WORLDS...

Gus is young, brainy and beautiful, a newly qualified barrister with a high-flying career ahead of her. When she is assigned her first case – a notorious murder trial – she resolves to show everyone what she is made of, especially her father, the prominent and wealthy art dealer Piers Lawrence, whose attention she craves.

But Gus's search for justice is sabotaged at every turn. Determined, and with the help of journalist Tom Silverthorn, she digs deep into the dark underworld of the East End, where she uncovers a criminal network which began thirty years ago; ruthless, deadly and – horrifyingly – linked to her own mysterious past. Even worse, Gus realises that the enemy is getting closer, and that someone who knows everything about her will do anything to keep her silent...
