Nobody ever bothered much with the girl who liked to call herself Lesley. She had spent all her life as a parcel being passed between children's homes and foster parents. Certainly no-one cared enough to report the fact when she finally walked out of her foster parents' Midland corner shop and, like so many young hopefuls before her, set out for London. Lesley added a new surname, Rivers, and with a few pilfered pound notes, had not much else to help her get on in a bewildering big city. And that was when she encountered the Holy Group and their depressing but convenient South London hostel.
Josephine Bell tells a disquieting story of a quasi-religious sect and the way it preys on the minds of the immature, the disturbed and the innocent. Circumstances have fortunately given Lesley Rivers a well developed sense of self-preservation, and she needs every ounce of this to survive a horrific ceremony presided over by the sect's sinister Ruler. However, when she eventually gets a job in the local health food shop, Lesley is to find that the drama is only just beginning.

A girl runs away from home. She has nowhere to stay and not much money and fears being caught and returned to her parents. She steals from an elderly woman and takes a coach to London with her meagre luggage. Here she falls into the hands of a strange religious sect. A simple straightforward story it would appear but things are far from being what they seem. Lesley Rivers - the reader knows this isn't her real name - is the innocent of the title but she is a mixture of contradictions. At one moment naïve and at the next well able to take care of herself.This is a well written crime novel with some complex characters and an equally complex plot whose ramifications are not fully revealed until close to the end of the book. Few readers will work out exactly what is happening though most will work out the broad details. The portrait of the sect is chilling and very well done. The police investigation totally fascinating.
Throughout the book, Lesley herself is trying to create a new life and does not know who she can and can't trust. Overall this is a disturbing story and it kept me turning the pages. I thought the activities of the sect were well described and the ways they used to keep their members in their places were suitably sinister.
