Nancy Neumann has it all – a challenging highly paid job in the City, a luxury apartment, a best friend for a secretary – but a lasting relationship has somehow managed to elude her.
When an important takeover comes her way, she is stunned to find herself working in partnership with former lover Colin – her university boyfriend who having got her pregnant, gave her the “kiss off”.
Faced with the prospect of single motherhood or continuing her degree, Nancy had opted for a termination. Now, a decade later, a seemingly contrite Colin plus the heat of a business battle helps to reignite the passion the two lovers once felt.
But a series of attacks by a mystery stalker leaves Nancy questioning the motives for the return of her lover. Is he somehow involved? And is there a connection between Colin’s reappearance and a grisly slaying of a young woman?
Nancy and an unlikely ally, her therapist, a former criminal behavioural psychologist, set out to uncover the truth.
