RED SCORPION is the new thriller by  News at Ten anchor, and novelist, Tom Bradby.

Life for Dr Laura Strong shouldn’t be this hard. Nights working thankless A&E shifts. A much-loved handicapped brother to look after. Loan sharks at her door. She needs a miracle to stop her life collapsing around her.

The arrival of South American coffee magnate Rafael Fernandez appears to be the answer to her prayers. A devoted father with a sick son requiring a 24/7 care, he is prepared to pay any price for expertise he can trust.

But if something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is. Behind the façade of Rafa’s gilded existence lies a dark family history which he has been doing his best to avoid – until the death of his estranged father brings it crashing back into his – and Laura’s – world.

 ‘Bradby has the talent of a reporter but the heart of a storyteller.’
