From the bestselling author of The Daughter and White Lies comes an unputdownable thriller unlike anything you’ve heard before!
Julia Blythe is starting again. After blowing the whistle on a fellow surgeon at her hospital, resulting in him being let go, she found herself illegally bullied from the job by her male colleagues who closed ranks against her. No longer willing to endure their campaign of smears and intimidation, she packs her family up and moves to Devon, to start a new life in a new hospital. To Nathan Sloan, who abuses his role as a surgeon as fully and freely as he can, she couldn’t be more perfect. After all, he reasons, you can’t blow the whistle on two separate hospitals without starting to look like you’re the problem.
When Julia cannonballs into Nathan’s life, he finds that she very quickly manages to turn it upside down, and for one reason or another, he can’t get her out of his head. Pretty soon he would go to any lengths to control her, humiliate her, possess her. But Julia isn’t a woman who can be possessed, and when she discovers Nathan’s true nature, she becomes determined to expose him, no matter the cost. Nathan builds a web to snare her, and only one of them can emerge with their career, and their life, intact.
'This complex mystery offers moments of stomach-churning anxiety as it presents the evil a female physician encounters in our male-dominated medical system. Narrators Sarah Lambie and Philip Stevens offer full-bodied performances of talented surgeon Julia; irresistibly gorgeous but sinister plastic surgeon Nathan; Julia's drunken ex, Dom; her colleague, Hamish; and more. At her previous hospital Julia reported the subpar surgical work of a male colleague, which resulted in her reputation being ruined, while his remained untouched. After relocating with her husband and kids, Julia once more finds work as a surgeon. Colleagues Hamish and Nathan have hired Julia because they have a nasty secret and believe she won't report them in order to avoid another scandal. Each actor is spot-on with attitude and nuance.'
