No Hiding Place [Hardcover]

Janet Tanner (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2005

A contemporary romantic thriller from a master storyteller
During the course of a routine legal investigation into a Hong Kong company, high-flying lawyer Julia Wilson inadvertently taps into a sinister network of intrigue and corruption that seems to have implications for her husband Paul's electronics company, Industech.
As Julia starts to make inquiries she comes up against a mysterious wall of silence. Then her housekeeper Ruth disappears, and Julia is further unsettled by what appears to be evidence of an intruder in her Wiltshire home. A replacement housekeeper hired by Paul does little to restore Julia's peace of mind: Helen is a strange person, and has a habit of snooping into private matters. As she probes deeper, it becomes clear that Julia is caught up - unwittingly - in something not just illegal, but very dangerous . . .

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Julia Wilson, a London attorney, is doing a routine check of companies in Hong Kong for her firm when she notices that a business with which her husband is involved is on the illegal activities list. After she mentions this to him, someone pushes her down the parking garage stairs. In the hospital, Julia finds out that she is two months pregnant, and is told to rest at home. But her home in Wiltshire isn't safe, and the bad company's files disappear from her laptop. Then her housekeeper extraordinaire is replaced by a woman with questionable domestic skills and a penchant for snooping. Tanner, author of Morwenna House (2002) and Tucker's Inn [BKL F 1 04], is a master of the gothic, cleverly updating classic gothic elements--the vulnerable woman in danger, the slightly sinister housekeeper, an ambiguous but nefarious scheme afoot, and a husband who is acting very suspiciously.
