Shatter by Michael Robotham
A naked woman in red high-heeled shoes is perched on the edge of Clifton Suspension Bridge with her back pressed to the safety fence, weeping into a mobile phone. Clinical psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin is only feet away, desperately trying to talk her down. She whispers, 'you don't understand,' and jumps. Later, Joe has a visitor - the woman's teenage daughter, a runaway from boarding school. She refuses to believe that her mother would have jumped off the bridge - not only would she not commit suicide, she is terrified of heights. Joe wants to believe her, but what would drive a woman to such a desperate act? Whose voice? What evil?
For THE SUSPECT: *'This is high-energy drama that's deftly done, with plenty of guessing games and nail-biting tension full of fine characterisation, brilliantly researched detail and subtle humour' Andrea Henry, MIRROR * 'Credible characters and a clever plot make an absorbing read by a welcome new name in the genre' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * 'A highly effective thriller.. Well-engineered plot, with gathering horrors heightened...A gripper' LITERARY REVIEW
