The Good Wife

A gritty, heart-pounding thriller for fans of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers. Psychologist Ava Barclay wants to be a good wife. The wife that she knows her cop husband, Tony, deserves. Ava keeps a lot of her clients' secrets, but no one, especially Tony, has any idea how many secrets of her own she is hiding. Fuelled by the emptiness of her mother walking out on her father and her when she was just a baby, Ava is on a path to self-destruction, drinking too much, making bad choices, lying to her husband about her whereabouts, and numbing her pain with one-night flings. When her father, Billy, is attacked and left for dead, Ava learns that her problems are about to get a lot worse. Tony finds out that her father isn't who he says he is: 'Billy' doesn't exist, and now Ava must head into the dark streets of Soho and a seedy world of hate, fear and mistrust if she is to find the truth about her father and her family. All Ava ever wanted was to be a good wife, but she may be about to learn that being bad is in her genes, and that her father is taking her down a path more dangerous than she could have ever believed possible...
