Someone has stolen the only person John Smith has ever loved - his twin brother Cannon. Johnny will stop at nothing to get him back but Cannon doesn't feel the same way any more. He's married now, and he loves his wife. In a desperate effort to avoid Johnny's destructive brotherly affections, Cannon enlists the aid of Sarah Fortune, a lawyer who has turned helping the needy and eccentric into something of an art form. Sarah hides Cannon's wife for him, but she cannot quite trust Cannon's judgement. Is Johnny really intent on inflicting unendurable pain on the woman who has hi-jacked his brother's affections? Sarah doesn't really believe in evil, and it is that lack of faith which makes her shockingly vulnerable ...

In this novel of suspense, Sara Fortune offers a feisty combination of eccentricity, sex appeal and the moral high ground.
Who is the current Queen of Crime? Rendell and James may still be jockeying for top position, but if Fyfield continues to turn out sterling work like this, they'd better look to their laurels. Each new book establishes her authority as a first-rate crime writer, and her territory is subtly different from her rivals. She is always good at the terrifying internecine warfare of family life, and demonstrates a scarifying grasp of twisted personalities. The plot for the new one is genuinely original: the troubled John Smith is set on the rack when the only person he was ever capable of loving is stolen from him.This is his twin brother, Cannon, who has married a woman he is deeply in love with. But seeing his brother's pathological desire to restore their relationship, Cannon (a sometime bombmaker and artist) goes into hiding. The quirky lawyer Sarah Fortune becomes involved with him and his wife, the real target of the disturbed brother. But is all as it seems? While delivering a powerful narrative of off-kilter psychology, Fyfield is really interested in the nature of evil, and the way in which her protagonists are obliged to deal with it. --Barry Forshaw
