CONFESSION

Late one night a man walks into the luxurious home of disgraced banker Harry McNamara and his wife Julie. The man launches an unspeakably brutal attack on Harry as horror-struck Julie watches, frozen by fear. It looks like Harry's many sins - corruption, greed and betrayal - have finally caught up with him. An hour later the intruder, J. P. Carney, hands himself in, confessing to the assault. The police have a victim, a suspect in custody and an eye-witness account, but Julie remains troubled. Has Carney's surrender really been driven by a guilty conscience, or is this confession the first calculated move in a deadly game? You will be addicted from the very first page in this brilliantly dark tale which is well plotted and beautifully written. 421pp, paperback.
