Queen and Country

Secrets and Lies

By J M Ripley

A military policewoman's dilemma

In 1984, Jo Clark, a member of the Royal Military Police with The London Provost Company, faces an assignment that tests her limits. Jo is tasked with investigating the suicide of a young female soldier who dies by suicide. Her long-time forbidden lover, Terry White, serves in the same unit, which poses a significant risk to their secret relationship. Any inkling of a lesbian relationship could lead to a dishonourable discharge, and Jo would do anything to prevent this from happening.

Jo’s career and reputation hang in the balance as she juggles her duty to her Queen and Country, her sexuality, career, family and relationship while in fear of being discovered.
