Knife Edge is the new novel from acclaimed writer, Paul Adam, a gripping thriller focusing on the power of the supermarkets and the exploitation of migrant labour. In London, a newly-arrived Kurdish immigrant is brutally murdered by Turkish people-traffickers. The dead man's wife, Irena, the key witness to the killing, flees to East Anglia where she disappears into the murky world of gangmasters and illegal foreign workers. Then three people contract typhoid and the only link between them seems to be the supermarket chain where they bought their food. Joe Verdi, crime correspondent for a national newspaper, goes undercover as a migrant worker to try to find Irena. But he's not the only one looking for her - the Turks are also on her trail. Meanwhile, Joe's colleague, Ellie Mason, is following up the typhoid outbreak. As the two reporters' investigations come together in a heart-stopping climax, the shocking truth about our industrialised system of food production is uncovered. There is a price to pay for cheap food - and sometimes that price is people's lives.

Paul Adam is the author of nine previous novels, including Unholy Trinity, Shadow Chasers, Genesis II, Flash Point, Sleeper and Enemy Within. His books have sold widely in both the UK and around the world and have been translated into several foreign languages.
