When successful businessman Jack Davenport dies suddenly of a heart attack, his wife, Ashlee, is bereft. Jack has been by her side for all her adult life - how will she manage without him? There's another loss, when Ashlee cleans out his office drawer and discovers that her husband had an affair with her best friend. And then another illusion is stripped away: someone is making disturbing telephone calls, leaving messages that hint at shady business deals. Adulterer, crook: evidently Jack was not the man Ash thought she knew. Has her whole life has been based on a lie? Ashlee thinks she has hit rock bottom but there is worse to come. All she has left is her daughter and her farm. And suddenly both are threatened. Jack's death has left her with something someone wants very badly indeed. And they'll do anything to get it. Ash must draw on her ever-growing anger to find the strength to fight Jack's final legacy: an unknown, unseen enemy. GWEN HUNTER |
