The Punishment — Paul Clayton

What do you do when you are an ex-soap star down on your luck and running out of money? For Daniel Maple, a chance meeting in a nightclub presents him with an offer he finds hard to refuse... But crime makes you pay. And someone, somewhere, wants you punished. A real page turner that surprises in its intricate layering of history and present. Blame and guilt are all balanced out brilliantly in this very dark yet funny tale of the repercussions of our choices. I read it in one sitting, growing to really engage with the characters and wishing for more. Captivating, funny and sexy.
