The Game

For almost three house the players had been battling it out for a place in Wimbledon history – to have their names immortalised in gold-embossed letters on the championship board.

Who’s been Sleeping in My Bed?

He let himself into the garden flat, carefully wiping his shoes before stepping on to the polished pin-stripped floor. For a moment he allowed the morgue-like hush to sweep over him, poised, alert, as if he didn’t trust what his ears conveyed, then gently closed the door. Immediately, the faint high-pitched bleep of the alarm broke the silence. The hall was lit only by a shaft of orange street-light and in the semi-darkness he stumbled and almost fell over a chair. ‘Shit,’ he whispered, quickly rubbing his knee, but pressing forward – urgently – until he had reached the small panel box concealed in a cupboard, and punched the code. Instantly the shrill noise ceased and he stood there in the darkness, conscious of a tingling sensation spreading along the back of his shoulders.

If you sold luxury properties for a high-end estate agency in trendy Notting Hill and you lived in a dump in Kensal Rise and there was a girl you wanted to impress, you might be tempted to use the homes you were selling as your own.

This is what Martin does. Pretends to be someone he is not. For Martin is in search of an identity and he’s prepared to risk his job for it. Until one day a body turns up in a flat that has Martin’s prints all over it and he finds himself caught in a chain of events that has terrible consequences.

This sexy, sassy thriller set in today’s London is as compulsive and contemporary a read as you could wish for.
