Following her much acclaimed No.1 bestseller 'Deceit',Clare Francis returns with another brilliant tale of psychological suspense.
After the loss of the family business in a bitter take-over,Hugh Wellesley suffers a crisis of pride and confidence which threatens his marriage.Risking everything to win back his business,he is on the brink of success when the body of Sylvie Mathieson is found stabbed and bound in the dark upper reaches of a Devon river.
Sylvie was exotic,unconventional and beguiling.Years before,she had also been the love of Hugh's life.
As Hugh falls under suspicion,he insists that his relationship with Sylvie was innocent.Yet he is not telling the truth. Bewitched by the hedonistic,unscrupulous Sylvie,he has been her lover.What began as an attempt to recapture a golden past had quickly turned into a deeply unhappy affair,fraught with humiliation and danger.
Hugh's wife,the elegant,highly-strung Ginny,lies for him,as does his stalwart brother,but the evidence against him continues to mount.Not only has he been seen with Sylvie on the river,but they have sailed to France together.And then comes damning forensic evidence. . . .
Yet the evidence is not it seems,and another truth emerges which will take even Hugh by surprise.
'Betrayal' is a gripping crime thriller from a novelist at the height of her power. Author's 9th book - 3 non-fiction,4 thrillers and this,her 2nd crime thriller. An uncommon,SIGNED title to date.
