Give Me Your Hand

2018 | Thriller

Kit has earned her place as a researcher in Doctor Severin’s lab; the fierce competition, the sneers from her male colleagues, the relationships lost along the way . . . She hasn’t let anything stop her. Now Severin is on the verge of a major breakthrough: the results of her research could change the lives of millions of women. The stakes have never been higher.
Which is why when Diane arrives, bringing with her whispered accounts of her brilliance, her unstoppable rise, everyone is riled, but no-one more so than Kit. Friends at seventeen, their mutual admiration and drive made them inseparable. But a desire for success wasn’t all they shared: Diane had a secret, and she made it Kit’s, too. Now just as Kit’s about to achieve the one thing she's always wanted, that secret is coming back to haunt her.
How far would Kit go, to make the hard work, the sacrifice, worth it in the end? What wouldn't she give up?
Because for Kit and Diane, there is no limit. Ambition: it’s in the blood.
Gripping and unflinching, from a master of the psychological thriller, Give Me Your Hand unravels the dark tangle of our deepest secrets and greatest fears.
