The Convenience of Lies

**A brilliantly artistic young girl, Ruby Ross, is kidnapped near her council estate home and Francis McCall, a journalist in crisis, chances upon her aunt - a woman who was also his first great love.**

McCall is persuaded to investigate Ruby's disappearance. But he is drawn into a dangerous conspiracy of spies, double agents and corrupt politicians whose intrigues will have him running for his life.

*The Convenience of Lies* is both a love story and a taut, literary thriller. It is a follow up to the author's acclaimed debut novel, *A Place of Strangers* \- a book which one American reviewer said put him "...in the line of successors to Le Carré."
