An Innocent Woman Pitted Against a World of Organised Crime, Money Laundering and Drug Trafficking.This 500-page thriller, originally published in hardback and paperback by Headline Publishing, is about a seemingly successful and respectable organisation that is a front for money laundering and drug trafficking. It is a financial and corporate crime thriller with a very strong female protagonist.After her marriage disintegrates, Eleanor Lambert abandons her high-flying career in London to move to a small professional practice in the idyllic seaside town of Dorset. What she cannot know is that the neighbouring coastline has recently become the centre of a death-dealing drugs cartel - and the focus of intense police surveillance.When a young male colleague is killed in a car crash, Eleanor takes over his unfinished work and discovers some rather strange anomalies. She soon begins to sense that she is being watched but several days later, the man she has identified as her mystery observer is found drowned in the harbour. Now, Eleanor suspects money laundering but when she receives a disturbing visit from the police, she learns that the victim was an undercover cop. She soon realises that something very big and very dangerous is happening all around her - something that may involve the man with whom she has started an affair.Behind this shadowy menace looms the psychotic violence of one of London's most vicious organised crime gangs ... and Eleanor is standing in their way.Like the sound of this book?
