The River Bank's Secret, (Paperback)

<b><b>One witness. One secret. One lie that could topple a government.</b></b> <p>Peter and Thomas lead a life built on careful discretion. Devoted to one another, they have spent years navigating London in the shadows, avoiding the judgmental gaze of a society they don't quite trust. But their quiet world shatters one night during a walk along the river Bance. Out of the darkness, they witness a hooded figure fleeing a scene of carnage, leaving behind a woman-Mandy-clinging to life with a blade in her shoulder. </p><p>Terrified of being "outed" and dragged into a media circus, they flee the scene after a single, desperate call for help. But conscience is a persistent ghost. When they eventually step forward, they find themselves caught in a web far more dangerous than a random mugging. </p><p>Unknown to them, Mandy is the keeper of a dangerous double life. For two years, she has been the secret lover of Alistair Jones, a high-ranking Cabinet Minister. To settle a crippling gambling debt, Alistair has used his power to smuggle drugs into the UK-only to be betrayed by Mandy herself in a multimillion-pound hijack. </p><p>Now, as Scotland Yard closes in and an international cartel sends assassins to silence the witnesses, Peter and Thomas must choose: stay hidden and watch an innocent woman die, or step into the light and risk everything to expose the rot at the heart of the British establishment. </p><p><b><b>In a city of secrets, the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.</b></b> </p><p></p>
