The day that Jack Palmer dies is one that his three children, Ralph, Mark and Pippa, will never forget. Returning to the family home to grieve, the last thing they expect is their mother's shocking announcement: their father, had had an affair and a child with another woman. Titus Palmer is the brother they never knew they had.
Ralph, Mark and Pippa want nothing to do with him. But then Titus mentions he owns a disused warehouse in an up-and-coming area of South London. Mark, who has long dreamed of running his own restaurant, realises this could be his chance. And, despite Ralph's disgust, he becomes business partners with Titus, a decision that will test all of their relationships to the limit . . .
'Breaking The Trust' is Lucy Clare's brilliant second novel, a skillfully spun story of a family secret unravelling into rivalry, retribution and - ultimately - redemption.
