“A breathless, blistering psychological thriller guaranteed to hold you captive...” (Bestthrillers.com)
City girl Amy seems to have it all—the high-flying job, the designer wardrobe, a beautiful home. But beneath the successful façade, Amy has secrets she’d rather her bully-boy boss Ed didn’t discover—like her troubled past and the little voice she hears in her head…
When a junior colleague is murdered, Amy’s fragile equilibrium is shattered. She suspects a client’s fraud links Ed to the killing, but is her paranoia working overtime?
As Ed tries to discredit her, Amy fears for her job, her sanity and her life. But she’s a tough professional, not a quitter, and somehow she must find a way to fight back...
Concealment is the second novel by British author Rose Edmunds. A prime example of the emerging 'office noir' genre, it’s a gripping psychological thriller set in the cut-throat environment of the City of London, in which an ambitious executive battles to survive in a toxic, corrupt workplace. At its heart, this is the story of one woman's struggle against her own self-doubt - a universal theme.
