Mine: A Novel of Obsession
Autor J. L. Butleren Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 iun 2018
Young divorce lawyer Francine Day has methodically built her career doing everything right. She’s one big case away from securing her place among London’s legal elite. But when she meets her new client, Martin Joy, the natural caution that has protected Francine and fueled her rise melts away. Powerless to fight the irresistible magnetism between them, client and counsel tumble into a blistering affair that breaks every rule.
Though Martin insists his marriage is over, Francine doesn’t believe him. Certain details he’s told her don’t quite add up. Consumed with a passion she cannot control and increasingly obsessed with Martin’s relationship with his wife, Donna, Francine follows the woman one night . . . and discovers her having dinner with her supposedly soon-to-be-ex-husband.
The next morning, Francine awakens in her neighbor’s apartment with blood on her clothes and no recollection of what transpired after she spied Donna and Martin together. Then Francine receives more devastating news: Martin’s wife has vanished. That dinner was the last place anyone has seen Donna Joy alive.
Suddenly, Francine finds herself caught in a dangerous labyrinth of deception, lies, and secrets, in which one false move could lead to her undoing. What happened that night and why can’t Francine remember? Where is Donna and who is responsible for her disappearance? The further Francine goes to find answers, the tighter the net seems to draw—around her lover, herself, and the life she’s meticulously built.

WHAT IF YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN’T?
WHAT IF YOUR RELATIONSHIP THREATENED TO DESTROY YOUR CAREER?
AND WHAT IF YOU SUSPECTED YOUR LOVER OF MURDER?
Divorce lawyer Francine Day is one big case away from securing her place among London’s legal elite. She has spent years methodically building her career but her work ethic isn’t enough to keep her from falling for her charismatic and suave new client, Martin Joy. She knows it’s wrong, but Francine can’t help herself even if their blistering affair breaks every professional rule.
But something about her new lover doesn’t add up. Martin insists his marriage is over, but when Francine sees Martin and his soon-to-be-ex, Donna, on a romantic night out together, she is devastated.
That evening is the last time that Donna Joy is seen alive. How did Donna vanish, where has she gone and why did Francine wake up in her neighbor’s flat with blood on her clothes?
As media interest in Donna escalates, and Martin becomes the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance, Francine finds herself caught in a dangerous labyrinth of deception, lies, and secrets, in which one false move could lead to her undoing. The further Francine goes to find answers, the tighter the net seems to draw—until her career, her professional reputation and her life are in danger.
A scorching tale of romantic and psychological suspense that moves at a breakneck pace, Mine explores the depths of obsession and its power to consume and control us.
