Guilty Knowledge

Gossip columnist Rain Morgan seems to have landed an enviable assignment on the French Riviera for the London Daily Post, a leisurely interview in luxurious surroundings with Sabine Jourdain, acolyte and lover of the famous Provence painter, Marius Durance. But when Sabine is murdered, Rain's promising feature turns into an obituary. Against the wishes of her partner Oliver West, Rain feels compelled to investigate, inviting suspicion and danger by digging too deeply into the activities of Durance's artistic coterie, uncovering fraud, greed, jealousy, a thriving drug trade and violence. When Guilty Knowledge was first published in 1986, Woman magazine acclaimed ‘an outstanding new writer’ and John Coleman in the Sunday Times noted that its ‘Fine, confident brushwork catches every nuance of fraud and worse’
