Series: The Rebecca Connolly Thrillers

There are two sides to everything, and fear isn't any different

sometimes you have to push through to the other side...

Someone has big plans for Stoirm, and they'll stop at nothing to get what they want.

Investigative journalist Rebecca Connolly returns to the Scottish island to find out who is terrorising the locals who favour a community buyout of the estate over plans by a faceless consortium to turn it into an upmarket playground for the rich and shameless.

But before she even sets off, she is threatened by two men, men who are no strangers to inflicting pain. Rebecca being Rebecca, this only serves to heighten her curiosity, and she heads for the island, leaving behind romantic troubles and, she thinks, a young woman set on making her name in journalism.

It isn't long before threats become murder and Rebecca finds herself in mortal danger from an old adversary among the breaking waves of Thunder Bay.

Reviews for The Other Side of Fear: A Rebecca Connolly Thriller

'The action moves at a good pace and there are plenty of surprises along the way to keep you turning the page. The ending provides an excellent climax to the book and leaves the reader wondering what next for those left to pick up the pieces' -- Ken Lussey * Undiscovered Scotland *
