ILLEGAL CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH, AND THEIR ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND ENTAILS LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW. THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER OF BRITAIN. FROM THE GOLD DAGGER AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR. THE SERIES HAS SOLD OVER 1,000,000 COPIES. In this case, a witness is more dangerous than a murderer... Ruby Johnson works as a nanny and maid for wealthy families living on an upscale Manhattan street. She knows all about them. Their daily routine. Their secrets. All. One night, returning home, Ruby witnesses a murder. She knows the victim. She knows the culprit. Ruby anonymously calls the police and gives the name of the killer. But he's not telling the truth… She's playing a deadly game that she has to win. Eddie Flynn, a former con artist turned successful lawyer, must defend the man accused of this terrible crime. The task is almost impossible — the prosecutor has weighty evidence in his hands. In addition, they have a real witness to the murder, an anonymous person whose name has not been disclosed, who is on the witness list at number 8. His testimony should decide the outcome of the conviction. And Flynn has to play blind...___________________________________________________________"Steve Kavanaugh revives the legal thriller." — Financial Times "Worthy of the great John Grisham." — The Times "Kavanaugh is a genius." — Evening Standard "There is real magic in the hypnotic power of Steve Kavanagh's narrative." — Sunday Express"Is an amazing writer.
