'Vivid, compelling, and thought-provoking. Utterly original'
Will Dean, author of Dark Pines

'At last a book that has it all. So beautifully written. I loved it'
Amazon Reviewer

**********

An afterlife of your own design - what could go wrong?

Isobel designs artificial 'heavens' for her clients, created from the memories they treasure most. She works for Oakley Associates, London's most prestigious firm of its kind. Her heavens are renowned for their beauty and perfection.

But Isobel crosses an ethical line when she falls for Jarek, a new - and married - client. Then, in the wake of his wife's murder, Isobel uncovers a darker and deadlier side of the world she works in. As her life starts falling apart, Isobel realises that nothing is as perfect as it seems, not even heaven itself...

**********

'Wow! I started this book mid afternoon and finished it at 1:15 am. I just could not put it down'
