Linda Davies

    1 januari 1963

    Linda Davies creëert snelle pageturners die thema's als risico, identiteit en verleiding onderzoeken. Voordat ze een internationaal gevierde auteur werd, navigeerde ze als een van de eerste vrouwen in de City van Londen in de wereld van investment banking, ervaringen die haar spannende verhalen voeden. Haar werk onderzoekt wie we werkelijk zijn wanneer ons het meest dierbare wordt afgenomen. Davies baseert zich vaak op haar eigen buitengewone leven, waaronder een aangrijpende ontvoering in Iran, en transformeert deze ervaringen in meeslepende fictie.

      Sarah Jensen heeft alles over voor haar topbaan... behalve haar leven! Iedereen die werkt in de City, het hart van de Londense zakenwereld, heeft maar één doel: geld verdienen. Zonder die ene, allesoverheersende ambitie red je het niet. Voor een man is het al moeilijk om in die wereld te overleven, voor een vrouw is het bijna onmogelijk. Sarah Jensen, een van de jongste en best betaalde valutahandelaren in de City, weet alles van overleven. Haar ongewone jeugd was een harde leerschool, en haar schoonheid en flair verschaffen haar de juiste camouflage in de slangenkuil waarin zij werkt. De Bank of England en de inlichtingendienst MI6 willen de corruptie binnen een grote financieringsbank laten onder- zoeken. Zij rekruteren Sarah als de ideale infiltrant, maar houden informatie over de omvang van de operatie achter. En Sarah raakt verwikkeld in een levensgevaarlijke samenzwering...
