Product Description

Product Description

An exciting crime adventure.
A child is kidnapped in Monaco.
The British government is about to license oil exploration in the Irish Sea.
The only person to see a link is Ella Crossley, a young oil trader in London.
But Ella doesn't want to get involved. She certainly doesn't want to get involved with the irritating, American environmentalist Nick Jardine, uncle of the kidnapped child. But when the action moves from Monaco to London and then to West Wales and an attempt is made on her life, Ella discovers that the only people she can trust are a group of tepee dwelling eco warriors. And as she and Nick Jardine get closer to finding the hostages and to exposing a government licensing fraud so it becomes imperative for the perpetrators to stop them. Permanently.
'A new departure for Helen Carey, spills, thrills and dirty dealing, Slick Deals pays off in dividends.'

A really good read, 11 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first Helen Carey book I've read and won't be the last. It was a really good read. It was suggested to me as I know the locations mentioned in the book so it had local interest and it enhanced my enjoyment as I could also picture the places from the book's description perfectly. An exciting story, well told.
I shall look at other books by Helen Carey now.

This gripping and original thriller combines an intriguing plot,with a well-researched background and highly topical themes (conflict between the oil industry and environmental concerns) - Ella and Nick are intelligent and engaging central characters and although the book stands alone well, a sequel would be most welcome!

Slick Deals represents a departure for Helen Carey - at least in some respects, in that the story is contemporary, very much in the "here and now" mixing fashion sense, City behaviour and environmentalist's conscience v naked capitalism, into a rich and witty mix.
In all other respects this is classic Helen Carey literature - pacy, humourous, exciting and characters who spring off the page and who you feel you could invite home (as long as they leave their guns behind!!)Let's hope Ella is here to stay!Slick Deals
