About The Book 

SHE IS HUNTING FOR THE TRUTH, BUT WHO IS HUNTING HER? Freelance journalist and single mother Hannah Weybridge is commissioned by a national newspaper to write an investigative article on the notorious red light district in Kings Cross. There she meets prostitute Princess, and police inspector in the vice squad, Tom Jordan. When Princess later arrives on her doorstep beaten up so badly she is barely recognisable, Hannah has to make some tough decisions and is drawn ever deeper into the world of deceit and violence. Three sex workers are murdered, their deaths covered up in a media blackout, and Hannah herself is under threat. As she comes to realise that the taste for vice reaches into the higher echelons of the great and the good, Hannah realises she must do everything in her power to expose the truth …. and stay alive.

What’s your favourite book cover by another author and why?

Thinking about this question I realised that I am more likely to be put off a book by a cover I dislike than be led to a book because of its interesting cover. However, that said, I love the Marnie Rome series by Sarah Hilary and adore the covers which depict the outline of the heroine with a scene depicted in the silhouette. All four books are now like this and it brings a unity together with a brilliant and immediate identity.

What is your favourite time to read?

I love reading whenever I have the opportunity but probably my favourite time is when I have a free afternoon ahead of me and can immerse myself in a book for several hours.

Do you have a favourite snack to nibble whilst reading?

Eating while reading goes against the grain with me. If the book is absorbing, I don’t want to let my concentration lapse while reaching out for a chocolate. Plus I like to keep my fingers clean for turning the pages!

Who is your favourite book character that has stayed with you long after the book ended?

When I was a child I loved the Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince. The story of the Prince (a statue) giving his gold and jewels to the poor via the Swallow who, in the end when he was blind, would not leave him, has stayed with me. The Swallow’s fidelity and love still bring tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat when I read it to children.
