About this ebook

Jess is meant to protect children but she has a dark secret, and someone knows what it is. Someone who kills. Almost everyone around her is suspect, even the girl who claims to be her abandoned daughter.

As her professional life becomes harder to control, Jess is forced to come to terms with her own past when someone unexpectedly reappears, someone she thought was lost forever. She finds herself crossing the line from investigator to victim, forced to question the very basis of her identity, and she can only wonder: who's there to protect the protector?

When two more children disappear, Jess finds herself in a losing race to find the culprit before she too becomes a victim. Only one person is on her side, the mysterious female detective, Pav McNeil, whose interest in her seems to be more than professional.

 

What readers are saying:

 

"Objects of Desire drew me in from the first sentence... with a plot like a nest of seething vipers." - Andrew Taylor, author of The American Boy

"This clever and disquieting novel shows Ms Emerson to be a writer to watch." - Sunday Telegraph

Author

C.J. Emerson

CJ Emerson was born and raised on the outskirts of London, and has an unnerving obsession with technology. After obtaining an MA In Creative Writing, her first novel, Objects of Desire, was shortlisted for the Crimewriters’ Association New Blood Dagger Award and is the first book in the Pav McNeil series of suspense thrillers. CJ lives in a farmhouse in the Wye Valley with her wife, two recalcitrant collies, a rescued greyhound, a noisy cat, six hens and two rescued Australian Lowline cattle (in the fields, not the farmhouse...)
