The Girl Who Wants Out is a literary thriller.On the verge of losing his marriage, London dentist Anthony Price is involved in an accident that propels him into an obsessive sexual affair with a Thai escort, but when she conspires with one of her regulars to fleece him of his life savings, his whole life starts to unravel before his very eyes. The same day as suicide bombers shock London in July 2005, a dentist and father of two girls is involved in an accident at a swimming pool that shatters the routine of his existence. Pushed off the top dividing board by an unruly adolescent, he falls on a young Thai woman in the water below, cracking one of her front teeth with the ring on his flailing hand. In the aftermath, Price gets to know the woman, first as his patient called Sisira, then intimately as an escort called Sonia. Blinded by his desire for her, he fails to see the trap he is walking into and falls headlong into a nightmarish world of blackmail and murder that threatens not only his own life but that of his family.Totally compelling and terrifyingly convincing, The Girl Who Wants Out is the story of how an ordinary man goes to extraordinary lengths to win the heart of a woman who has lost all faith in men.
