When Peter Brandon is commissioned to paint Emily Hastings’ portrait, his keen psychic awareness unlocks the dark secret that has haunted her since childhood. Now on the brink of at last finding happiness in the arms of the man she loves, she is faced with her father’s resolute desire to destroy her life.
When her father, Charles Hastings, is found murdered, Emily is suspected of the crime, and it falls to Jeff Stevens, Peter’s lover, to try and clear her name. His investigation turns personal when his ex-lover is also found murdered and he finds himself tracking two killers – at considerable risk to himself.
His discovery that Hastings was involved in using the services of a child prostitution ring enrages Jeff and he agrees to be the bait in a police ‘sting’ operation…but when that goes wrong, Jeff’s life is suddenly, once again, in danger.
