Why is someone trying to murder her?

Seventeen-year old Alex Brown, survivor of shop doorways and a squat, doesn't know. She has found refuge with her Cass, in a flat in Islington, London. But when Cass' brother Leo, a well-known television actor comes home and shows he is very attracted to her, Alex is hostile and suspicious. As she prepares to move on, she learns that her mother and stepfather have been involved in a strange road accident. Matt, a young man who has pulled her mother from the wreckage, has startling news to give her.

From then on Alex life is in turmoil. Incident piles on incident and Alex, Leo, Matt and Cass find they are enmeshed in a dangerous and mysterious tangle of violence and corruption, with its roots in the past. Alex must embark on a difficult quest needing courage and determination, to unravel the mystery and seek justice. But it is nearly too much for her, mentally and physically, and reaches a perilous and devastating climax.

This tense, exciting book, also has something to say about the exploitation of girls, and of young women struggling to survive amid, decaying values, and political corruption.
