About to be sacked as part of a corporate cost-cutting exercise, journalist Jason Crowthorne stumbles on the scoop that could save him. Teenage footballer Liam Glass lies in a coma after a mugging. Jason has heard rumours that the boy's secret father is a celebrity international player, but however much he digs he can't prove it. He's approached by dubious football agent Tony Potts. Potts represents a star player who wants to counter social media rumours that he's gay. He offers to make Jason and Liam's mother very rich if they name him as the love-rat father. All it takes is a little lie... But that lie will put Liam Glass's life at risk. ★★★★★ 'One of the tensest books I've read in some time,' Robert Parker, Crime Reviews ★★★★★ 'Utterly gripping, darkly realistic and endlessly entertaining,' Liz Barnsley, Latest Reads ★★★★★ 'Scabrously funny, full of venom,' David Prestidge, Between the Covers
