FINALIST 2021 Page Turner Awards UK and NIEA Awards US

How did ruthless millionaire businessman Geri Neilson die? Was it a sudden heart attack or perfectly plotted murder? The media wasn’t certain and the police finally gave up.

Geri's damaged son Tal is haunted by his father's death, but who can he trust when everyone's a suspect? Plus few, if any, will mourn Geri's death. Between his dishonest business partner, his heartless widow, and the countless other people Geri's screwed over the years, someone is looking for revenge.

Tal needs to wrestle back his addiction and take control of Geri's pharmaceutical empire.
When he turns for comfort to his lover Ophelia, he doesn’t know of her past connection with his father at the root of her own obsession. During the Second World War, Geri risked his life to smuggle her family out of Nazi-occupied Denmark. To honour this heroic debt Ophelia was raised to continue the family vow of secretly protecting the Neilson family, even if it risks her life and those of others.

And thus a bitter fight ensues between loyalty and betrayal, addiction and independence, ambition and love. Can she find the murderer and bring them to justice? Can Tal ever meet Geri’s expectations?

A tense, fast-paced psychological thriller, which will have you hooked from page one.
