Lucy gets the same bus every day. This Friday, her journey home will change her life.

She can barely afford her bus ride, tries to avoid eye contact, and, if she's really lucky, she gets a seat and reads a chapter of her book.

But it's a Friday - and the bus is always crammed at the end of the week. Personal space doesn't exist. She keeps her elbows close and clings to a pole at every juddering stop.

When she gets off, something feels different.

An envelope stuffed with thousands of pounds is in her bag.

Is it the answer to her prayers, or the beginning of a nightmare?

Because, in the end, everything has a price.

A compulsive read that will have you absolutely hooked and reading late into the night.
