It was a simple enough job. All Harry Becker had to do was return a stolen handbag to Evelyn Crowley, wife of a big banker in Canberra. Mrs Crowley was so pleased that she gave him a job – find the daughter she’d given up for adoption seventeen years ago. He managed that without too much difficulty. Then she asked him to do another job – find out who was blackmailing her. And that’s when things changed for Becker, a disgraced cop and dead loser no one wants to know…
What begins as a simple investigation soon develops into a dangerous love story. Someone wants to kill Mrs Crowley and if Becker gets in the way, just too bad for him.
Gordon Reid has written an intense tale of deception and desperation. It begins slowly and carefully, gradually picking up speed. Things become too hot for Becker. He wants to get out, but there’s no way out. Not with a woman like Evelyn Crowley.
