Nina Todd Has Gone Nina Todd is not the sort of person you'd notice in the street - and that's the way she likes it. She keeps her head down and tries to live a quiet life: dull job, dependable boyfriend, no disruptions. If there are questions about Nina that remain unanswered, they are questions that even those closest to her don't dare to ask. When Nina meets the unnervingly handsome Rupert during a conference, it leads to the kind of empty adulterous encounter that she'd rather forget. But it soon becomes clear that Rupert doesn't feel the same way, and when he starts to turn up everywhere - gorgeous, worrying, distracting - her carefully constructed life begins to fall apart. He won't let her out of his sight - is it pure infatuation, or something more sinister? Who is Rupert, and what is the power he holds over her? And who is Nina Todd?
