Where There's Smoke cover

Sophisticated, dark, its pages seeping with menace, this stand-alone thriller by the bestselling author of the David Hunter series has been revised and updated for today's readers.

There is no more running, only the need to hide...

Imagine not knowing the father of your child. Although she is desperate for a baby, that is something that Kate Powell cannot accept.

Then Kate meets a man who seems to be the answer to all her problems.

Some moments burn in the mind for ever. The landing is dark. Light comes from a window at the far end, enough to run by. Breath comes hard. From the stairs sound heavy footfalls in pursuit. The landing ends in a last doorway. There is no more running, only the need to hide...

Imagine not knowing the father of your child. Not knowing his name. What he looks like. Or what sort of person he is. Although she is desperate for a baby, that is something that Kate Powell cannot accept. Single, independent, she likes to be in control of her own life - even if it has, somehow, become strangely shallow and meaningless.

Then Kate meets a man who seems to be the answer to all her problems. But we all know appearances can be dangerously deceptive. And Kate should too. Soon her life is out her hands. And out of control...

Brilliant. One of the best novels I've read in years * MARTINA COLE *
