Betrayal

Betrayal

by Karin Alvtegen (Author), Steven T. Murray (Translator)

Synopsis

The smallest betrayal can cause the greatest harm . . . When Eva discovers her husband's having an affair, grief and rage drive her to vengeful action. Then she meets Jonas, who for the past two years has been keeping vigil beside his comatose girlfriend. Burdened with his own sinister history, he sees a chance to start afresh with Eva . . . In the tradition of Nicci French and Minette Walters, Betrayal exposes the pain of deception and how our destructive behaviour can lead to consequences far beyond our control.
