The Sky Blue Parcel - John Nightingdale

The Sky Blue Parcel by John Nightingdale For highflying Jane Charles a job at Her Majesty’s Treasury should have been just another career stepping stone. But when Jane’s old boss, Home Secretary Kenneth Ormond, asks for her help in finding the £250 million taken from the Mandell Group, Jane finds herself taking more than a professional interest in finding the money. There was the inexplicable nature of the problem for a start. Why should £250 million be missing from a company with no apparent financial difficulties? And why were so many people so interested in either helping or hindering her attempts to track it down? Then there was Mark Mandell, son of the firm’s founder, who seemed to be hiding a secret of his own, if not his feelings for Jane. And when people start dying Jane is drawn remorselessly into a web of terrifying events played for ever-higher stakes. “An intricate and compelling thriller that twists and turns to an unforgettable ending and combines fine writing with compulsive page turning.” Claire Burton
