Robin Ballantyne’s life is finally coming together. After learning she was pregnant with twins and being abandoned by her irresponsible boyfriend, Adam, she is settling into life as a single mother.

But one night, after putting the children to bed, she hears an argument and suddenly, a body falls past her window. Running outside, she finds the body of Paula Carmichael, a renowned activist. When the police find Robin’s name in Paula’s diary and a connection through ex-boyfriend Adam, Robin becomes the prime suspect. She must figure out who killed Paula before she loses her freedom, her children, and her life.

Catherine Sampson started her career in the BBC and has worked as Beijing correspondent for the Times (London). She now lives in Beijing with her husband and three children and is currently working on her next Robin Ballantyne novel.
