A short break in a shoreline cottage is an ideal place to struggle with your demons and for Elly and Martin it offers a place to recuperate after a scandal. But Elly makes a life-changing find on the tideline in the form a finger wearing a huge pink diamond ring. Scroll back a few months to the hospital where Martin works, we meet nurse Hayley, twenty-five, gorgeous, a player, and totally turned off by the ward surgeon, Richard Congreve. Until, that is, she catches a whiff of something expensive in his Jag and is ensnared by a gift so desirable it may prove fatal. Ranging between Wales, the north of England and Goa, this is a novel about possession, betrayal, violence - and just how much we can afford to lose. Shortlisted for Britain's oldest literary award, the prestigious James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. ""A joy to read."" Ninnau ""The author manages to put across the turbulence of these interpersonal relationships, and keeps the reader guessing up until the last few pages."" I Love a Mystery
