"Riveting . . . One of the most memorable females in recent fiction" Amy Pascal, Columbia Pictures Producer
By day, Judith Rashleigh is a put-upon assistant at a London auction house.
By night she's a hostess in one of the capital's unsavoury bars.
Desperate to make something of herself, Judith knows she has to play the game. She's learned to dress, speak and act in the interests of men. She's learned to be a good girl. But after uncovering a dark secret at the heart of the art world, Judith is fired and her dreams of a better life are torn apart.
So she turns to a long-neglected friend.
A friend that kept her chin up and back straight through every past slight.
A friend that a good girl like her shouldn't have: Rage.
The Talented Mr Ripley meets Gone Girl in this darkly decadent and compelling new thriller that asks:
Where do you go when you've gone too far?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We are hooked on Maestra, the first book in a new trilogy. The novel’s intelligent, pathologically independent, kinky and predatory heroine is Judith Rashleigh, who’s attempting to escape her impoverished Liverpool upbringing and crack into the upper echelons of London’s fine-art business. After a series of dodgy choices sets Judith’s career back, she embarks on a cross-European journey of deception and reinvention that becomes more twisted and transgressive at every turn. Author L. S. Hilton sold the film rights to her series before this first instalment was even finished. We’re telling all our friends about this dark, racy tale about a woman’s raging rampage against a man’s world.
