About this listen

 Nadine, a 16-year-old runaway new to the city, is set up in a decaying Georgian house by her Finnish lover, Kai. Slowly, she begins to suspect that Kai and his partner, Tony, have plans for her that have nothing to do with love. "Be careful", warns Enid, a sitting tenant in the house, whose own tragic past means that she knows all about survival. When Nadine discovers that she has been groomed for renting out to a government minister with special tastes, Enid's warning takes on a prophetic quality.©1994 Helen Dunmore (P)2007 Isis Publishing Ltd Crime Thrillers Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Mystery Romance Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Crime Thriller
