Product Description
On the first day of December a parcel bomb explodes in London's East End killing 'Gecko' Samuels, notorious womaniser and businessman, and a young journalist, who turns out to be six weeks pregnant. Georgina Powers, still holed up in her basement after a hit-and-run, is commissioned to cover the story. But she has other things on her mind. Things that keep her from going outside. Like the faceless driver of the car who knocked her down. Then a hideous accusatory list of women who have had abortions appears on a website, including the name of the murdered reporter. As Georgina sets out to find out who is behind the killings, she finds her own name on the list...
From the Publisher
'A story Hitchcock would have loved
The way [Stephanie Powers] manages to carry out her investigation entirely from inside her flat is a testament to Danks' ingenuity. But her real talent here is in playing on Powers' claustrophobia in the flat and in building up the suspense as Powers, in a panic, waits for her nameless, faceless enemy to have another try at killing her. A small tour de force' Peter Guttridge, Observer
'A brilliant, sleep-robbing thriller whose uppers are only slightly less unnerving than its downers. Sharp, speedy narrative in which facts are planted like anti-personnel devices
Sexy as ever
relentless objective rather than pessimistic. And very stylishly done. One f those rare books which gives the genre a chance to exercise both its mind and its muscle. Top marks either way' Literary Review
'Skilfully written, it rockets along at a gripping pace' She
