August.
A long-running heatwave has been dominating the news for weeks, and a state of lethargy is affecting everyone - not least blind ex-policewoman Naomi Blake, who is experiencing a restless dissatisfaction with life in general.
One ordinary Monday Naomi and her friends Harry and Patrick are in a high-street bank when an armed gang storm the building and take it hostage.
Naomi - particularly vulnerable because of her lack of sight - is one of the captives.
During the next few days, tensions rise as the situation grows fraught with danger, and the extreme heat intensifiesβ¦
However, under the tight control of an unpredictable and volatile persecutor, Ted Harper, the heat is the least of Naomiβs worriesβ¦
She knows this man. Knows who and what he was and the knowledge does nothing to reassure herβ¦
Ted Harper never forgets and never forgivesβ¦
