Something Wild — Linda Davies

We last met her in NEST OF VIPERS, Linda Davies' bestselling first thriller about the young city trader turned MI6 agent. Then she was a woman with a host of secrets and a haunted past.

Now, Sarah Jensen is back again, running from a love which was too big to handle, hiding her baby son from the father who does not know he exists. A woman with more at stake than ever, and more to fear.

Short of money, she takes a freelance job, investigation a new client for her old investment bank, only to find that this client is the very man of whom she is most afraid. There is nowhere to run to now, nowhere to hide. To protect her child, Sarah Jensen must become again the street fighter she once was. If she can.

SOMETHING WILD is an absolutely thrilling novel, the story of a woman who was once tough, but is now vulnerable, her skills blunted by motherhood. A woman at bay.
