It's a sequel to her previous novel The Father's House, published by Matador in 2015.
Lucy is 15 years of age. She and her teenage friends are waiting, very much on edge, as they are to give evidence in criminal trials against members of a fanatical religious sect that worships the Magnifico and are known for disposing of people it regards as detractors by poisoning them with a deadly injection.
It's know their lives are at risk from the sect. So they are moved out of London in an attempt to make sure they are protected and kept safe.
They are sent to Wales, where the Magnifico is not known to have any followers, in a foster home in the Principality. Whilst their foster mother seems to be a kindly, nice woman, they can't bring themselves to trust her. They feel unable to trust anyone but themselves.
They have little experience of life outside the stifling confines of the sect, so they have to rely on their own abilities to keep themselves going.
They children are very careful not to let anyone know too much that might help the Magnifico.
However, the agents of Magnifico are already plotting and scheming against the friends.
But who will succeed? The children or Magnifico?
It's a sharply written thriller of a novel and is published on 28th July by Matador at £10.99.
