Keep Me Alive
by Natasha Cooper
Why did investigative journalist Jamie Maxden
have to die? Did someone need to stop him revealing the scandalous
secrets of the food industry?In the sixth Trish Maguire novel,
the coroner says Jamie's death was suicide. His family agree. The case
is closed. Only one man fights to re-open it, but he's known as a
conspiracy theorist and he can't make anyone believe him until he turns
to Trish.Felled by food poisoning in the middle of a big trial,
she is ready to believe almost any story about the adulteration of meat
on sale in London. Even though she has more than enough to do with her
work as a barrister, the fight to protect a child in terrible danger,
and plenty of emotional complications of her own, she agrees to help. The
investigation takes her deep into the countryside, showing that cruelty
and intimidation can flourish in a ravishing landscape just as they do
in the grimmest of inner-city housing estates.Moving between the
two, trying to save lives and sanity, inexhaustible Trish is driven into
a crusade that combines excitement, drama and agonising human tragedy.
