Evelyn Crowley

It was a simple enough job for Harry Becker; return a stolen handbag to Evelyn Crowley...

And then Mrs. Crowley requests his help with another matter-locate the daughter she had given up to adoption.

Given his dubious standing amongst his former police colleagues, he only barely manages to achieve that. Then she asks him to take on another job-find out who is blackmailing her....

That's when life becomes a lot more intense for the disgraced cop.

Married to a big shot at a Canberra city bank; she knows what is going on behind the vaults and people want her dead because of it.

Things go from worse, to unbearable, as Harry Becker tries to get her out of harm's way. What began as a simple assignment has become a dangerous love affair and abandoning Evelyn is not an option for Becker. For him, there is no way out-not when he loves a woman like Evelyn Crowley.

Gordon Reid has written an intense tale of deception and desperation. It begins slowly and carefully, then picks up speed with calculated intent and becomes a book that is unbearable to put down...
