Left Field Fergus Harrison Lrg edition

A Thriller After a devastating childhood took her temporarily along the wrong path, Jolanda Adamcikova, or Jo Adams as she now prefers to be known, has managed to forge a new life for herself as an officer in the Metropolitan Police. But her promising career is threatened with derailment when she is suspended after assaulting a suspect during an arrest. Jo is thrown a lifeline in the form of an offer to join LEFT Field, a private investigator run by the charismatic and blue-blooded Peter Lampton. She is soon drawn into a complex case of political intrigue, child sex trafficking and, inevitably, money. It is the British Foreign Secretary who is under suspicion, so any investigation must be discreet, and discretion is something in which LEFT Field excels. Jo?s initial euphoria at being given another chance is soon dissipated by concerns about the motive behind her recruitment. Jo?s beauty and chequered past seem to make her ideally qualified to insinuate herself into the affections of the target of their investigation but this is precisely the sort of thing from which Jo has been trying to escape. Her woes are compounded by the growing attraction between her and Peter Lampton. Peter has his own tragic past, his wife and young child having disappeared without trace some years before, which prompts him to respond to his attraction to Jo with ambivalence. Jo and Peter, each torn by conflicting emotions that threaten to break them both, must make some hard choices and the choices they make take them on a dangerous journey culminating in tragedy and death.
