Gift or Theft : iUniverse : 9781663205025 : 1663205027 : 21 Aug 2020 : Seema is a gardener and a dreamer. She is almost content with her safe life, sharing a flat with her best friend. Until, on a girls' night out, a beguiling older man approaches her. He leads her into a world of wealth and sophistication she's completely unused to. Through him she arrives at a place where both dreams and nightmares come true. Has seduction crossed the line into manipulation or coercion? Worse, is the relationship sliding into a supernatural realm - where a man's obsession with blood will lead to Seema's death? About Crocodiles and Good Intentions "It's an amazing achievement. Lady Bag excels herself. I was shocked, appalled, mystified, uplifted, tickled pink and hugely entertained. There's no person in all of literature anything like her... Above all, the human spirit (and some doggy spirit...) rises above all the privations and triumphs. Thanks for a terrific read." Peter Lovesey, MWA Grand Master,
