Savvy ex-lawyer Clementine Jones is back in this edge-of-your-seat crime thriller with an environmental twist.
Sarah cast off the lines to her law career not long after being awarded Australian Corporate Lawyer of the Year in 2016. She now lives with her husband aboard a 43-foot sailing catamaran, exploring this most magnificent blue planet and chasing an endless summer. She took up writing novels as a way to liberate her imagination after twenty years in the structured confines of legal and corporate life. Her debut novel Lapse was published in 2019.

determined...[Sarah Thornton] has delivered another fast-paced

equally entertaining and thoroughly endearing.' * Otago Daily Times
