'Gripping, even addictive, this multi-layered thriller plummets headlong at a furious pace into ever darker waters.’
When Simon Jermyn, a literary critic with a murky past, gets involved with creating the latest novel of Sarah Kraft, he has no idea of the writer’s real agenda or where it will lead. The thriller she is writing is set in Nigeria and England and features scams, murders and desperate attempts at redemption. The forces suck four seemingly random characters – a young Afghan NGO employee, a school canteen worker, a petty gangster and a gardener – into an inexorable vortex. Dark secrets are uncovered, narratives converge, leading to inevitable consequences. As Sarah Kraft says, the plot grows like disease bacteria in a petri dish.
