Traumatised by the death of a patient, and crippled with anxiety, Glaswegian dentist Radha Bakshi succumbs to an addiction to Valium she can't acknowledge, even to herself.

In truth, she relies on the pills to juggle being the consummate professional, perfect daughter, devoted wife and a not-too-embarrassing mother to her teenage son.

When increased scrutiny of her work forces her to find a new source of supply, she stumbles into the clutches of blackmailing drug dealers. A mistake that could cost her everything.

A gripping and emotional domestic suspense novel that tackles the sadly common, insidious substance abuse among healthcare workers and the complexity of familial relationships as children grow up.

Perfect for fans of SE Lynes, Shari Lapena, Lauren North, Lesley Kara, Paula Hawkins.
