The Schemer Audiobook (Free)

The heir to Martina Cole’s crown with a tale of murder, the underworld, violence and treachery.

It’s 1983 and Stephanie Crouch’s existence is dull. She actually is desperate to escape the run-down, pokey council house she shares with her overbearing family, but at fourteen years old she’s nowhere to look.

When Stephanie meets East End wide-boy Barry, his cockney charm and quick tongue soon have her head over heels in love. Finally Stephanie feels like her dreary existence is on the up. But too young to control their fate, Stephanie and Barry are torn apart when he is whisked apart to Spain by his family.

Unhappy and heartbroken Stephanie turns to Barry’s years as a child friend Wayne for comfort, and their friendship quickly blossoms into romance, leaving Barry fuming and promising revenge…

Ten years later on Barry returns to England. Within one month Stephanie’s content globe with Wayne is usually turned ugly. People immediately start to stage the finger of accusation at Barry, but is certainly he the one to blame?

Or, should Stephanie look elsewhere to get the schemer who has ruined her lifestyle?
