The Blue Book
A. L. Kennedy

Elizabeth Barber is crossing the Atlantic by liner with her boyfriend, Derek, who might be planning to propose. In fleeing the UK, Elizabeth may also be in flight from her past and the charismatic Arthur, once her partner in crime. Together they acted as fraudulent mediums.Arthur continued his search for the right way to do wrong. He now subsidises free closure for the traumatised by preying on the super-rich. The pair still meet occasionally, for weekends of sexual oblivion. She hadn’t, though, expected the other man on the boat. As the voyage progresses, it’s time for Elizabeth to discover who are the true deceivers and who are the truly deceived.
