Book description
Lynn Barrett is a single mother, trying to cope with life after
divorce. And her life becomes an even bigger nightmare when daughter
Caitlin is diagnosed with terminal liver disease. She is put on the
transplant waiting list, but there is a world shortage and most patients
will die while waiting. In desperation, Lynn turns to the internet and
discovers an organ broker who can provide her with a liver but it will
cost Lynn £250,000. To save her daughter she mortgages her home and
borrows from family and friends to raise the money. A few days later the
organ broker tells Lynn she has found a young woman, a perfect match for
Caitlin, who is in a coma following a car smash in Italy. Meanwhile Roy
Grace is working on the case of the remains of three young people
recovered from the seabed off the coast of Brighton. These remains lead
him to a Romanian trafficking organization of street kids from the
Eastern bloc for the UK sex trade; some of them are also traded as organ
donors . . . 'One of the most fiendishly clever crime fiction plotters'
