Twenty years ago, Eddie’s career as a journalist was destroyed by the Juliet Fox case.

Juliet was young and beautiful, born into the privileged world of the Manhattan elite. Pulled into their orbit by her investigation, Eddie discovered how far the rich and powerful are prepared to go when their way of life is threatened . . .

Eddie has always known that the wrong man was made the scapegoat for Juliet’s murder. So when a new luxury sky-rise is opened by Juliet’s father, just metres from where her body was discovered two decades before, Eddie can’t resist finding her way in, back into a world where dangerous people operate in the shadows, and anyone might kill to keep a secret safe.
