Not if journalist Grace has anything to do with it. She wants the
inside story on the de Courcy engagement and thinks Lola holds the key.
Grace knew Paddy a long time ago. But why can’t she forget him? Grace’s sister, Marnie, might have the answer but she also has
issues with the past. Her family is wonderful but they can’t take away
memories of her first love: a certain Paddy de Courcy. What will it
take for Marnie to be able to move on? And what of the future Mrs de Courcy … Alicia is determined to be
the perfect politician’s wife. But does she know the real Paddy de
Courcy? Four very different women. One awfully charming man. And the dark secret that binds them all... ‘There’s something I need your help with. The details are a little
hazy at the moment, but I sense that it’s going to be something big.
Very big indeed. Have you heard of Dr Julius Gorner?’ It’s a name that will become seared into James Bond’s consciousness.
The name of a man who knows no master but his own power-crazed ego,
whose wealth is exceeded only by his greed and who will stop at nothing
until he has destroyed the very heart of Great Britain. A savage execution in the desolate outskirts of Paris sets in motion
a chain of events designed to lead only to global catastrophe, as a
tide of lethal narcotics threatens to engulf Sixties Britain, a British
airliner goes missing over Iraq and the thunder of coming war echoes
round the Middle East... Bond finds a willing accomplice in the shape of a glamorous Parisian
called Scarlett Papava. He will need all her help in a life-and-death
struggle with his most dangerous adversary yet – a man who would dance
with the Devil himself. Download the audiobook at iTunes
Lola has every reason to be interested in who Paddy’s marrying –
because although she’s his girlfriend, she definitely isn’t the
bride-to-be. Heartbroken, she flees the city for a cottage by the sea.
But will Lola’s retreat prove as idyllic as she hopes?
