The Pornographer's Wife

Publisher Marketing: Mary Heaton is a respectable middle-aged widow, with a daughter who recently went off to university and a husband who until his death was a senior member of the cabinet. Her friends regard her as a little stiff and a little old-fashioned, but mostly as a very straight-laced woman. And then, one morning, a letter arrives with a threat to reveal the truth about Mary's past. Thirty years ago, Mary and her husband Donald made a fortune as producers and purveyors of pornography. They eventually quit the business and hid the truth from everyone. As Donald entered politics, they told people that they'd made their money in the clothing industry. The truth, however, had remained undisturbed. Until now. Someone is blackmailing Mary. Someone wants her to reveal the humiliating truth about her past. Someone knows everything, and has the photos to prove it. As she races to stop the truth from exploding into her life, Mary tries to work out who has discovered her dark secret. Is it her wayward daughter? Is it the old friend who went through the madness with them? Or is it someone else entirely, waiting in the shadows and enjoying every moment of Mary's agony? The Pornographer's Wife is the story of a woman who thought she'd buried her past forever, and a blackmailer who will stop at nothing to make her reveal the truth.
