"Combining the eloquence of P.D. James with a story John Grisham would envy, George serves up a splendid, unsettling novel."--People
Hailed as the "king of sleaze," tabloid editor Dennis Luxford is very good at ferreting out the sins and scandals of people in exposed positions. But when he opens an innocuous-looking letter addressed to him, he discovers that someone else excels at it as well. Ten-year-old Charlotte Bowen has been abducted, and if Luxford does not admit publicly to having fathered her, she will die.
But Charlotte's existence is Luxford's most fiercely guarded secret, and acknowledging her will throw more than one life in chaos. For Charlotte's mother, Eve, is one of England's most high-profile Junior Ministers and quite possibly the next Margaret Thatcher. Eve refuses to let Luxford damage her career by printing the story or calling the police.
As Luxford struggles to find help, another tragedy brings Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Sergeant Barbara Havers into the case--one whose tentacles reach from London to the countryside--as the investigators navigate a world of corrupt self-interest in which the sins of parents are visited upon children.
Breaking the Worry Habit...Forever! is written by Elizabeth George, whose books have sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Elizabeth and her husband, author Jim George, have been involved in ministry for almost 30 years and are parents and grandparents.
