Two women. Two secret lives. Two brutal attacks connect them. Rebecca Cashmore was a brilliant barrister and a fearless TV broadcaster until a scandal exposed her private life, and almost cost her freedom. Now, a chance encounter with a woman living just as dangerously, pulls her into something far darker. Eloise Grainger is a free spirit, entangled with Auckland’s wealthy businessmen, when obsession turns lethal. Rebecca becomes the prime suspect when police discover Eloise clinging to life in a riverside sanctuary. To save herself, Rebecca must unravel Eloise’s past, which involves hidden relationships, a powerful family and a missing diary capable of destroying reputations. Even worse, the man who could help Rebecca is DS Colum Blainey – the detective who charged her with murder.
