“I don’t know what he hit me with. Something hard, that’s all, something hard against the back of my head and then lights out, I hit the floor.”
· · · When she’s attacked and knocked unconscious, Nottingham social worker Jo Elliott assumes she was merely unlucky: in the wrong place at the wrong time; the random victim of an opportune mugging. But gradually the doubts set in. A half-glimpsed face watching her in the supermarket; an attempted break-in at night. As the days pass, Jo begins to suspect she was deliberately targeted. Although she caught only the briefest glimpse, she cant help feeling she’s seen her attacker somewhere before. And he said something before he hit her: she just cant quite remember what it was.
· · · As she begins to piece the clues together, Jo becomes more and more convinced that what appeared to be a random attack might have some connection with a case she was involved in eight years earlier. A case involving a problem family called the Metcalfes. A case that went horribly, terribly wrong…
· · · Death Duty is the second compelling novel of psychological suspense by young Nottingham-based writer Clare Littleford—a writer to watch.
