When successful business-owner Kate Shaw realises she is pregnant, after a fling with a previous lover, she has life-changing decisions to make. She needs to be in control of her life. Pregnancy in her fifties was never part of the plan. It becomes her secret. The risks of having a baby at her age are clear but she struggles with the idea of an abortion. No-one understands her increasingly erratic behaviour as the preoccupation takes over her life. Her marriage is precarious; the relationship with her former lover uncertain. Is this the way to madness? This is a gripping story about dark choices, gnawing discontent and the uncertainties of love. It is the sequel to A Taste Of His Own Medicine, by the same author.
