THREE MURDERS. ONE WITNESS. NO BODIES.
When 26-year-old Sofie James, recovering from her father’s recent suicide, learns from a journalist that he may have been the victim of a secret drug trial, she is desperate to uncover the truth. But when they agree to meet two pharma company whistleblowers on a Thames river boat, it all goes horrifyingly wrong: the journalist and the two men are shot and left for dead, and Sofie narrowly escapes with her life.
Shockingly, they disappear, along with the evidence, and the police don’t believe her. As a witness, her life is now in grave danger, not least because the chairman of the company conducting the drug trial, Cambridge Bio, is a leading politician. Forced to try to solve the mystery on her own, Sofie goes on the run. But there’s someone else looking for her: ex-special forces Cal Harrison had been tasked by Cambridge to ‘protect’ the whistleblowers, and he suspects he’s been set up. When he begins to question their disappearance, he finds himself in the frame for their murder.
His only hope of saving himself, and getting to the truth, is to find the girl on the boat…
READER NOTE: The Girl on the Boat is the first book in a duology. The story continues in 'Don't Look Down'.
Genre: Thriller
