When I first started to read this book I was a bit confused by the number of characters and the switching between the present and the past. However, I persevered with it and have to say that the very complex stories come together and make sense. The story centres around Teddy, a Slav (the books description, not mine), his nephew, Nikola and Emilie, a lawyer who works for a prestigious law firm which deals in business law. Teddy is Emilie's investigator and has a shady past, but is now on the straight and narrow. Nikola has just been released from young offenders and has no intention of going straight.
A body is discovered at a remote house and Emilie is asked to defend the suspect - way out of her comfort zone.
As I read the book, I had to know what happened!
