If You Promise Not to Tell

More about the book

New edition of the thriller nominated for the Ned Kelly Award Smart, idealistic and motivated, Jen the law student intends to make a big splash as a criminal lawyer. A bit of upmarket prostitution pays her way through University and leads her to Harry, cannabis dealer and playboy who turns her world upside down. When Harry's multi-million dollar payout is ripped off by corrupt cop Roger "Raindrops" Reiner, Jen becomes his willing ally chasing the cash. Together they must deal with the vicious Reiner; sleazy middleman Charlie Prentice; powerful Chen; erotic Jasmine; nightclub artist Eduardo; and Chatabul, the charismatic master crook. The money trail leads from Sydney's streets to a secret estate on the North Queensland coast, and finally Hong Kong. Meanwhile, their relationship blossoms - and stumbles. The stakes are high and the adrenaline turns Jen's idealism to pure ambition as she learns her biggest lesson: everyone is a liar, a user - and morality is highly subjective.
