By Nora Kelly

Book Overview

A great city is a mirror reflecting everyone's dreams and desperation. From Arthur Ellis Award winner Nora Kelly comes a powerful suspense story set in London. Gillian Adams has moved to London to live with policeman Edward Gisborne, her lover of many years. Feeling displaced, she seeks out her old friend Charlotte, once a brilliant television producer. But Charlotte is sunk in despair, and her daughter Olivia, a young actress, is fleeing from a disturbed fan who may be a dangerous stalker.

After Charlotte is found dead, events gather towards an explosive climax as Olivia confronts her pursuer and the terrible sequel to a hidden past.

Nora At Her Best

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. The words just flew off the pages, and put me in London with Gillian. When I can look at the people I have found a good read.

Literate mystery

After the death of her mother, Gillian Adams has decided that life is too short not to spend time with the people that she loves. To achieve that, she has sold her home in Vancouver and moved to London where she shares a flat with her lover, Edward, a detective with Scotland Yard. She also renews her friendship with Charlotte and Charlotte's daughter, Olivia. Gillian becomes concerned when she finds out that Olivia is being stalked by a disturbed young man named Kevin and when Charlotte dies under mysterious circumstances the race is on to stop the killer. I have read the entire series, starting with In The Shadow Of King's c1984, and have enjoyed these highly literate novels that follow Gillian and Edward from Cambridge to Vancouver to London. Highly recommended.
