Product Description
Lawyer turned writer Nic Gabriel is intrigued when his friend Dylan Rees starts to tell him a cryptic story about the connections between some strange and sudden deaths. So he can't resist the opportunity to meet up with his friend and hear some more. But at Dylan's glitzy party, Nic can only watch in horror as his friend is murdered by the ex-girlfriend who had apparently committed suicide over him five years before. Stunned by the brutal attack, Nic vows to discover the meaning behind his friend's enigmatic tale. Meanwhile Roxanne Wake is thrilled to be starting her new job at Creed, the country's leading human rights law firm. It is a dream opportunity for a young lawyer, but there is something worrying Roxanne and it isn't just her lack of experience. Roxanne has got a secret, something she dare not tell her new employers-and she is determined to keep her past hidden at all costs. Take My Breath Away is a gripping psychological thriller from a master of the legal mystery. Packed full of twists and turns, this is novel that will leave you gasping.

Format:Hardcover
Is anyone who they say they are? How can you tell what is true? Who is being manipulated? Who is pulling the strings? There are puzzles throughout this stylish novel - mysteries within the mystery. Cleverer readers than me will understand the allegory earlier than I did, and relish every moment of the masquerade until the final unveiling - only to be offered a tantalising glimpse that, perhaps, the dance never really ends.

powerful psychological thriller
10 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
Legal headhunter Dylan Rees asks his friend former lawyer-turned one time published author Nic Gabriel to meet him at a Westminster gala in which he will tell him about strange deaths. At the party, Nic sees a dead woman Ella Vinton seemingly searching for Dylan. A bit intoxicated Nic tries to prevent the tragedy, but is too late. When she finds a startled Dylan, Ella kills him and commits suicide.
Nic thinks back to about five years ago when womanizing Dylan dumped Ella who committed suicide soon afterward; he attended her funeral. Still in shock, Nic follows up on Dylan's comment about questionable deaths. At the same time changing her name from Cassandra and her hair color, Roxanne Wake, joins the highly regarded Creed human rights law firm as a paralegal only to find some of their practices ethically stunning. Soon Roxanne and Nic will find their paths converge in a deadly scenario.
With the Lake District police taking a breather, Martin Edwards provides a powerful psychological thriller that will stun readers with the two subplots and even more so when they merge. Character driven, the British legal profession comes across as amoral in which a life is irrelevant when it comes to taking care of the client as Roxanne learns with the Haycraft fiasco. Filled with twists, readers will be hooked when a woman from the grave commits a murder suicide.
