*Winner of a Spotlight at International crime writing festival Bloody Scotland 2018* 'At its core is a fanstastic story and it's expertly told' Do you owe your family your life? When Grace McBride's beloved sister Glory dies in a car crash, her carefully planned life spirals out of control. She discovers Glory had been drawn into illegal activities at odds with her seemingly charmed existence. What's worse, Grace finds herself an unwitting accomplice now forced to take over her sister's shady dealings. Determined to keep her fingers clean and redeem her sister's reputation, Grace plots to extricate herself--and all those Glory held dear--from the clutches of Glasgow's criminal underworld. But her moral certitude is challenged when familial pressure mounts and Glory's past intentions remain unclear. Grace grows convinced Glory's death was no accident, even if no-one will listen... Seeking justice, she finds betrayal.

'At its core is a fantastic story and it's told expertly' author Jonathan Whitelaw 'I recommend this book. It's a page turner. The characters are interesting and challenge preconceptions. The story-line evolves constantly, never drags or slows down, and with Glasgow as the background, you get a sense that you're visiting somewhere new.' author Kaben Egan 'An unputdownable, roller-coaster, absolutely cracking psychological thriller' Shalini's book reviews 'In Servitude is a page-turner. And this being Heleen's debut novel, I must say that it is too good to be true.' My Tiny Book Shelf book reviews
