Book description
A naked woman in red high-heeled shoes is perched on the edge of
Clifton Suspension Bridge with her back pressed to the safety fence,
weeping into a mobile phone. Clinical psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin is
only feet away, desperately trying to talk her down. She whispers, 'you
don't understand,' and jumps. Later, Joe has a visitor - the woman's
teenage daughter, a runaway from boarding school. She refuses to believe
that her mother would have jumped off the bridge - not only would she
not commit suicide, she is terrified of heights. Joe wants to believe
her, but what would drive a woman to such a desperate act? Whose voice?
What evil? Before writing full-time, Michael Robotham was an
investigative journalist in Britain, Australia and the US. He is the
pseudonymous author of 10 best-selling non-fiction titles, involving
prominent figures in the military, the arts, sport and science. He lives
in Sydney with his wife and 3 daughters.
