The Root of all Evil - 9781490954080

Lily seemed to have it all: a beautiful house, good job and loving boyfriend, Daniel. However, her life is turned upside down when she discovers Daniel in bed with another woman. Hurt and humiliated, Lily struggles to find a purpose to her life without Daniel by her side and when he tries to show her how remorseful he feels, she finds her former resolve to remain strong crumbling away. With her feelings for Daniel still in turmoil, Lily receives a visit from the police informing her of the death of her parents. Needing Daniel's support now more than ever, Lily attempts to come to terms with her sudden loss and hopes that the imminent return of her estranged brother, Simon, will go some way towards helping her to rebuild her life. Unfortunately for Lily, Simon is not quite what she was expecting and she soon becomes suspicious of his strange behaviour. Undeterred by his denials and even the proof of a DNA test, Lily fights to discover the truth about Simon's existence in Mexico and soon finds herself embroiled in a world filled with blackmail and drugs. When Simon returns to Mexico, he quickly learns that his life is in danger and with the help of the American authorities escapes his persecutors only to discover that he is expected to testify in a court of law against one of Mexico's most notorious drug barons. Supposedly dead, and under FBI protection, Simon questions his resolve and has to discover a braver side to his nature than he ever knew existed if he is to survive and be reunited with his sister.
