Steven van den Biot, founder of the alternative birth clinic Roman Hall, believes passionately in natural child-birth. But what gives him the authority to pronounce on women's mysteries? And why should he want to? As stories of orgies, arguments and midnight burials at the clinic emerge, the beautiful, composed and competent Matilda Cressey – recently appointed head of a consumer watchdog and determined to make a name for herself – is drawn to investigate.
When Matilda finds her interest aroused more by Steven van den Biot than by the accusations against him, she faces the biggest dilemma of her career – and her life. Is he Satan or savour? Her position gives her the power to clear his name or to ruin him. And as the controversy escalates and passions she thought dead rise to the surface, she is forced to make her choice.
'This is disturbing social satire, and it's as sharp as a lancet'

'Unleashes a savage wit... funny, sad, clever: a perceptive portrayal of emotional conflict and a deliciously believable nonsense of social manners'
