Book Description:
Sometimes it takes a
while for a good fish to swim all the way across the pond. Originally
published in England in 1995, this psychological suspenser from
crowd-pleaser Francis (Night Sky) is just making it to shore here. While
caught up in the tensions surrounding a possible buyout of the glass company
he inherited from his father, Hugh Wellesley hears news reports of the
murder of his mistress, Sylvie. Unwilling to come clean with his sickly and
devoted wife, Ginny, Hugh lies to her and the police. When he's arrested
anyway, Ginny covers for him so thoroughly that the police believe her
guilty and arrest her instead. Hugh also has a doctor brother, David, who
tells his share of lies. And David's wife, Mary, deceives, too. As the trial
draws nearer, it becomes apparent that the only way to save Ginny is to
discover the truth behind Sylvie's death. Francis explores betrayal on many
levels here: business partner against partner, brother against brother,
husband against wife, lover against lover, even doctor against patient.
In this increasingly suspenseful psychological mystery, Hugh Wellesley's
alleged involvement with a murdered woman threatens to destroy his
orchestration of a company buyout. The manipulations of a back-stabbing
partner and an asthmatic, spendthrift wife plus Hugh's own deceitfulness add
glue to the sticky position in which he finds himself. Each confession he
makes to police, to his wife, to his sympathetic sister-in-law reveals more
of the truth, but not until police arrest his wife does he feel enough
pressure to act.
