Eden Carmichael, a politician, is found dead
in a brothel on a hot afternoon. Sandra Mahoney mulls over a demeaning
photograph showing Carmichael in a dress and blonde wig. When
a lobby group asks her to investigate a company producing filters
for the internet, Mahoney is surprised to discover a trail that
others have ignored.
Eden shows Mahoney and her creator,
Dorothy Johnston, at their most assured and accomplished yet.
‘If you combined the two strands of Ruth
Rendell and her alter writing ego, Barbara Vine, you’d come
close to Dorothy Johnston’s talent.’ – Ken Bruen,
author of The Guards
