St. Benet's #3
After A Question of Integrity and The High Flyer, Susan Howatch's exploration of power, love and healing in the modern world resumes with The Heartbreaker, another richly rewarding and utterly compelling novel set in the city of London.
In this adrenalin-charged square mile deep in the recession of the 1990s, sex is just another commodity, and keeping one's integrity is a daily struggle.
Gavin Blake is riding high. He's up to his neck in sex and sleaze, but he's young and handsome and he's making a lot of money. Carta Graham wants nothing more than to forget her life as a high-flying lawyer, so she's buried herself in a fundraising project for the City church of St Benet's. When she meets Gavin, she thinks the only thing they share is a temporary sexual attraction, but she's wrong. They are about to change each other's lives forever.
For Gavin comes to see that in order to survive he must escape from the harrowing world he inhabits. And as he becomes more involved with Carta and her boss Nicholas Darrow, the menace which surrounds hin threatens to spiral out of control. His fight for freedom and a new life is hard and fierce, but Carta, searching for her own freedom from the past and her own new life, is with him every step of the way...
