Nick Sharman's daughter Judith has returned to Scotland and nothing will tempt him back into the business again... unless it's Ray Miller. Miller, a Lottery rollover double-jackpot winner, wants to find the wife who left him. This should be a simple task for Sharman, giving him easy money and evidence for Judith that he's trying to get his life together. When Miller's wife, Sharon, turns out to be a whore addicted to heroin supplied by her pimp, Sharman's fate appears to be sealed. The news of Miller's new-found wealth has brought out south London's worst villains, the most unpleasant of whom - Adult Baby Albert and Mr Freeze - decide the best way to get what they want is to use Sharon to prise it from Miller. And Sharman, the patsy, is primed to take the fall. 'Old murders, family secrets and long-told lies are the ingredients of this splendid, gripping crime debut' - William Ryan'Tension builds slowly but surely in this dark gripper' - Sunday Sport'I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the little nostalgic glimpses back in time and how the characters interact with their own hopes and desires is brilliantly told' - The Reading Desk
