Black Blood

In Jane Eddie's Black Blood we meet Danni. She was a trainee corporate lawyer. All seemed great, until she was forced to flee the worlds she knew in London to escape from an abusive and controlling partner.

She finds herself living and working in Aberdeen, working in the oil industry. All seems good, but in the uncertain world of post-Brexit Europe, things start to devolve and not in a good way.

A number of the oil outfits have felt compelled to sell out to the Russians. But then a top oil industry CEO is found dead.

Is this death somehow linked to a number of apparently mysterious deaths on the offshore oil wells?

Who are the terrorists who are attacking the platforms? Who is behind them? Who is giving the orders?

And what if Danni starts to become suspicious that there might be something far, far worse than an abusive and controlling spouse, an abusive and controlling employer?

There's a complex web of deceit, corruption and evil surrounding Danni. What can she do? What can she do?

Danni is minded, of course, to do the right thing. But what if doing the right thing could result in her losing her life?

But what, exactly, was really happening? Who could she trust?

This is a remarkable, exciting novel and I believe that Jane Eddie is a name to look out for.

It's published by The Book Guild at £8.99.
