In the heady days of the seventies, and at the tender age of nineteen, Decca Brand experiments with what was on offer—sex, drugs and intrigue. Far too much intrigue, it turns out, and of a sort that spells murder. Fast forward nearly thirty years and Decca is confronted by dangerous figures from her past. Not only that, the stunning psychologist and divorcee has a blind date lined up with a married man. And then things start to get complicated.
A Hand in the Bush is about skeletons in the closet, and simply being in the closet. It is also the marvellous new comic thriller, brimful with wit and menace, from the irrepressible Jane Clifton.
