Product Description
Review
Trish Maguire, barrister and staunch defender of the weak (A Place of Safety, 2003, etc.), wonders whether it's really better not to know how sausages get made. The client, Will Applewood, was a small producer of foie gras and specialty meat products until an exploitative deal with a giant grocery store chain bankrupted him. Trish and her head of chambers, Antony Shelley, are suing the chain on behalf of the Will and other victims. When Trish and her good friend Caro, a police officer in the Child Protection Unit, are poisoned by bad sausages, Will eagerly offers to track down the producers. He's obsessively certain that meat packers everywhere are skirting hygiene regulations. Trish, eager to keep her volatile client out of trouble while she and Antony work and flirt, must also find time to help Caro, recovering in the hospital, with a case of child abuse. Will investigates almost too well, connecting the bad sausages with a dead investigative journalist, until he and his new girlfriend, an employee of the suspect sausage company, are brutally beaten by a man whose neck Will breaks in self-defense-or so he says. The suspense will keep readers from looking too closely at the coincidences, but nothing will distract them from the disgusting way one loose end gets tied up. It's enough to make you a vegetarian. (Kirkus Reviews)
Product Description
Why did investigative journalist Jamie Maxden die? The coroner says it was suicide. The case is closed. Only one man fights to re-open it. Will Applewood is sure Jamie was about to expose a scandal that would shame the British food industry. But Will is notorious for his conspiracy theories. No one listens to him. In despair he turns to his barrister, Trish Maguire. Felled by food poisoning in the middle of Will's case against a huge supermarket chain, Trish is ready to believe any story about dangers lurking inside the pretty packaging of food we all eat. Even though she has more than enough to do already with the trial, an attempt to save a child at terrible risk, and plenty of emotional complications of her own, she agrees to help. Will's campaign takes her deep into the countryside, revealing a world that seems quite different from the metropolitan life she knows. But human nature doesn't change - whatever the environment. Cruelty and intimidation can flourish in the ravishing landscape just as they do in the grimmest of inner-city housing estates. Moving between the two, trying to save lives and sanity, inexhaustable Trish is driven into a crusade - both personal and professional - that combines excitement, drama and agonising human tragedy.
