Stinging filth and bloody hands

by Tasmin Jahan

As Jack Lander grieves for his deceased wife, Marissa, at her funeral, Emily Liam uses the sad occasion to reveal the secret of her longstanding affair with Jack. While spilling the details of their liaison to the horrified crowd-and more besides-she does not realise what a chalice of poison she has overturned. Jack denies everything and claims that Emily is mentally unstable and emotionally damaged. But the truth cannot be masked for long. All too soon a tale of brutal murder and vengeance, double-dealing, sordid sex and false identity start to unravel the complex lives of the major players in this hot-blooded and at times disturbing drama.
