The Opposite of Amber

by Gillian Philip

First one prostitute is found murdered near the little Scottish town of Breakness, then another, then another.

 

Orphans Ruby and Jinn are learning to live without their bohemian mother. Jinn seems to befriend the wrong types, Nathan Baird in particular, just out of jail.

 

Ruby is dealing with her own demons - was it her fault that Alex Jerrold jumped off that roof? But Jinn loses her job and takes to the streets to help fund Nathan's drugs habit leaving little sister Ruby desperately alone. Then Jinn disappears.


A heart-wrenching story of two teenage sisters, battling to create a life for themselves, not knowing whom to trust. A compelling and disturbing read about life on the gritty side of the street.
