Still Life with a Vengeance by Jan Turk Petrie

Still Life with a Vengeance by Jan Turk Petrie

Married to rich and famous rock guitarist, Nick Quenington, and living in a country mansion, from the outside Eve's life appears to be perfect.

Heartbroken when they can't conceive a child, Eve's adoption hopes are threatened when Nick and his band are accused of drugging and raping a fan. Despite vehemently denying the allegations, the band are subjected to trial by social media.

Eve's belief in Nick's innocence leads her to passionately defend him to the press, but sales and downloads take a nosedive, the upcoming tour is cancelled and their music dropped from radio stations. And, as more accusations emerge, Eve begins to have her doubts.

A story of love, deceit, betrayal and revenge, 'Still Life with a Vengeance' is a work of contemporary literary fiction that will appeal to fans of Sally Rooney, Ian McEwan and Gillian Flynn

Petrie, Jan Turk: - As a writer, Jan is always keen to challenge herself. Her first published novels - the three volumes that make up The Eldü¾™†”¼svü¾™†”¼k Trilogy - are Nordic noir thrillers set fifty years in the future in a Scandinavian city where the rule of law comes under threat from the criminal cartels that control the badlands surrounding it. Her fourth novel - 'Too Many Heroes' - is, by contrast, a period romantic thriller set in the early 1950s - a story of an illicit love affair that angers the mobsters controlling London's East End. Jan's fifth novel: 'Towards the Vanishing Point' is also set primarily in the 1950s and depicts an enduring friendship between two women that is put to the test when one of them falls under the spell of a sinister charmer. 'The Truth in a Lie', Jan's latest novel and the first with a contemporary setting.
