It's not been a good day for Lawrence Juste. First his wife is killed in a hit and run, then he finds the blackmail note.
From his wife.
There’s no escaping the blackmailer’s price – alive or dead - and as revelation after revelation rocks his world, Lawrence is forced to dig into why his own wife should want to destroy him.
If the dead would only talk...
That's what barrister Lawrence Juste wishes as he desperately tries to uncover who is tormenting him to near-madness.
In a world of dirty deals and twisted relationships, the people in Lawrence’s life are as patchworked good and bad as he – but ONE has pure evil woven into their pattern. Who is it?
Where do you go from knowing your whole life is a lie?
Do you run away, or race towards a new truth? For a long time, Lawrence can't make up his mind because that new truth - about who is behind the blackmail he’s suffered, about the child at the centre of the whole twisted tale, and about his family – now reunited - could be even more dangerous than the lies of the past...
When Roseanne Grey jumps to her death on a cold December day, there’s no apparent reason why – not even according to her psychiatrist.
Detective Sergeant Darwin Grant is told to file the death as a simple suicide, but he’s not so sure. For a start, why did a woman recovering from a road accident call out Roseanne’s name as she came round, but later claim not to know her? And why had she rung Roseanne no less than fifty-three times just before she died?
She watched her father die.
She even saw the trigger being pulled, but she never knew why.
Now she’s determined to find out.
Ten years on, and Gaby McCray is seemingly blazing a trail across the psychiatry firmament. Except for the three tricky clients she shouldn’t have taken on, that is: the three tricky clients who each imply they know why her father died...
Gaby McCray is two women. One of them is a psychopath.
'You're a Behemoth," the Director of ETHOS tells her. 'A sleeping beast... In other words, a psychopath who can switch their mania off and on at will. But you're not alone, and one day, they'll come for you - all the other Behemoth...'
What if you had all the time in the world? Would you become a better person? or worse?
And what would you do with all that power?

She was two, and yet she was twenty. How could she be both in the space of twenty-four hours? ‘I call it a Revolution,’ she explained.
‘A Revolution?’ Luke asked.
‘Yes. On a complete Revolution I start at zero, progress to twenty and then revert to zero again… every time I complete a revolution, what I’m capable of becomes significantly more… telepathy, telekinesis, quantum computing and of course, time travel…’
