I have no idea why I bought this book.  I can't remember if it was recommended, or if I just fell over it somewhere.  Mind you - the author notes would be enough to make me sit up and take notice - 'Esther Verhoef was born in 1968 and gained recognition for her critically acclaimed action thrillers Restless and Under Pressure.  Both were shortlisted for the Golden Noose and Under Pressure was awarded the Diamond Bullet, both prizes for best thriller of the year.  She is also the author of Rendez-Vous, which was awarded the 2006 Silver Fingerprint, the Dutch public award for best thriller of the year.  Close-Up has also won this accolade.'

Sounds good regardless of how I found it.

Leon's partner died in his bath, and although the police report said she took her own life... she didn't.

When he meets Margot, overweight, lacking in confidence and recently separated, he sees an opportunity.  Her life's a mess.  Who better to help her put it back together than a man who's recovering from his own girlfriend's tragic demise?

Dragging her into a very intense, sexual relationship, which is one giant power game, Leon moves her into his flat and sets her up with a new career.  How could she ever manage without him?

If his ideas go to plan, she'll never need to worry about that.
