DISHONOUR

Family care lawyer Lilly Valentine's life is
demanding enough. But when Anwar Khan begs for
her help after his teenage sister commits suicide,
she can't refuse.

Facing a wall of silence, Lilly is about to abandon the case.
But when the police turn up and arrest the dead girl's younger
brother, Raffique, she knows she's already in too deep.

Together with her new assistant Taslima, Lilly becomes
embroiled in the sinister world of a vigilante group vowing to
protect the 'honour' of the community's women - punishing
those who 'stray'.

When another girl disappears, Lily knows it's only a matter
of time before the group take the law into their own hands.
But with so much in her own life at stake and the police
determined to push their own agenda, has Lilly finally taken
on more than she can handle?

A gritty, electrifying read that will engross fans
of Martina Cole and Mandasue Heller.
