Richard West has a bad day. He loses his job at a university. It gets his house is demolished, he is injured and is sued. Worse still, his wife Alex disappears with a known criminal. He must have faith in her judgement against all odds. He begins to fight back against his attackers, but who are they? And will Alex be in danger if he retaliates?
Really enjoyed this one. It pulls you in quickly and keeps the tension building as things spiral for Richard.
The pace works well and there is a constant sense of “what’s going to happen next” as the story unfolds. The stakes feel real, especially with the mystery around Alex, which keeps you engaged throughout.
