zlib_text: ## Synopsis
  
  
  
  
  
  A day like any other for security chief Tracy Waterhouse, until she makes a
  purchase she hadn't bargained for. One moment of madness is all it takes for
  Tracy's humdrum world to be turned upside down, the tedium of everyday life
  replaced by fear and danger at every turn.
  
  
  Witnesses to Tracy's Faustian exchange in the Merrion Centre in Leeds are
  Tilly, an elderly actress teetering on the brink of her own disaster, and
  Jackson Brodie, who has returned to his home county in search of someone
  else's roots. All three characters learn that the past is never history and
  that no good deed goes unpunished.
