SOMETHING WILD

We last met her in Nest of Vipers, Linda Davies’ best-selling thriller about the troubled trader turned MI6 agent. Brilliant, brave with a destructive addiction to risk, Sarah Jensen is woman with a host of secrets and a haunted past. Now Sarah Jensen is back, running from a love which was too big to handle, hiding her baby son from the father who does not know he exists. A woman with more at stake than ever before and more to fear.

Short of money, she’s forced to take a dangerous assignment investigating a string of high-profile rapes. Determined to get justice for the victims, Sarah uses herself as bait. As Sarah’s high-risk strategy brings her closer to uncovering the perpetrator, it plunges her – and her son – into unimaginable danger.

Heralded by USA Today for its “pulse pounding suspense,” Something Wild takes us on a high-speed journey from the wilds of Wyoming to the echoing canals of Venice.

“A wonderful, glossy, sexy thriller… masses of plotting, counter-plotting and double doubles, a marvellously brave, beautiful heroine, a devastatingly desirable baddie-hero and the kind of detail that involves you 101 per cent.”
“It’s a thrilling, pacy novel with a strong central character and intriguing plot.”
David Bowie pioneered a type of bond sale in the late 1990s that helped the music icon reap millions of dollars. Here is the Wall Street Journal’s explanation of how he made financial history with “Bowie Bonds.”
“In 1997 Bowie decided to sell the rights to future royalties from his extensive body of work. Securitisation — effectively a loan backed by the future payments — was in its innovation stage, a more innocent time before finance moved onto mass destruction world tours. Bowie’s was actually the first in a line of ‘Pullman Bonds’, developed by David Pullman.”
