When one of barrister Trish Maguire's first child clients comes back into her life as an adult she has no idea of the chain of coincidence and horror that will be revealed. Now a brilliant sculptor, Sam is married to one of Trish's fellow professionals on an insurance case involving the London Arrow, a ravishing new building that has shown sinister cracks since the day it was unveiled. Violent death is followed by psychological torment and a painful revisiting of the past by everyone involved. If Trish did not have the security of her life with solicitor George and her young half brother, David, she too might be dangerously destabilised...A Greater Evil is a powerful and moving novel that shows all the emotional intelligence, strong characterization and sense of place critics have admired in Natasha Cooper's earlier novels.
