UNABRIDGED
by Liza Cody Narrated by Jill Tanner
Оnna leafed through her desk diary. Every day, for a month ahead, a scribbled note told her where she should be and who she should be talking to. She yawned again. There were no gaps left open for surprises. ”—from Backhand
When Anna Lee finishes installing what seems like the millionth security system in the home of yet another paranoid Londoner with money to burn, she decides her job among the tight-fisted and back-stabbing employees at Brierly Security is a far cry from anything even resembling private detection.
But if things at work are bad, things at home are even worse. She is about to be evicted from her apartment; one of her neighbors is experiencing a mid-life crisis of epic
tions; and her occasional bed mate, Quex, has come to town unannounced and with the apparent intention of moving in—permanently.
The clouds that are gathering over Anna’s life dissipate momentarily when a wealthy American businesswoman, Lara Crowther, rings Anna up for a game of tennis and a job offer.
It seems that a line of Crowther’s expensive designer sweaters has disappeared, along with the daughter of the artist who designed them. Crowther wants both daughter and sweaters back where she can keep an eye од them.
The case eventually sends Anna to Sarasota, Florida, where amid palm trees, tennis courts and an unnatural climate, she finds herself up against adversaries who play a mean game. But as Lara liked to remind her: if you can beat your opponent mentally, you’ve won the match. What Anne can’t figure out is who is on the other side of the net.
“Backhand is another wonderful book with all of Liza Cody’s hallmarks: spare prose, lively dialogue, and a beautiful sense of time. ”
