Synopsis
Helen
West, Crown prosecutor in domestic violence court, is working up a good case of
burnout: justice-by-the-book doesn’t seem to be working for the women she
represents. Plus, Helen’s love affair with Police Superintendent Geoffrey
Bailey is losing its fire. Things suddenly heat up when Helen learns that
humble Cath, her cleaning woman, is being beaten by her husband. Cath has no
family-her beautiful brother, Damien, has recently been brutally murdered-and
needs all the help she can get. But as the truth of Cath’s young life,
marriage, and her brother’s murder begin to take shape, help and justice seem
hard to come by . . . and may prove forever beyond reach.

About
the Author
I
grew up in rural Derbyshire, but my adult life has been spent mostly in London,
with long intervals in Norfolk and Deal, all inspiring places. I was educated
mostly in convent schools; then studied English and went on to qualify as a
solicitor, working for what is now the Crown Prosecution Service, thus learning
a bit about murder at second hand. Years later, writing became the real
vocation, although the law and its ramifications still haunt me and inform many
of my novels.
I’m
a novelist, short story writer for magazines and radio, sometime Radio 4
contributor, (Front Row, Quote Unquote, Night Waves,) and presenter of Tales
from the Stave. When I’m not working (which is as often as possible), I
can be found in the nearest junk/charity shop or auction, looking for the kind
of paintings which enhance my life. Otherwise, with a bit of luck, I’m
relaxing by the sea with a bottle of wine and a friend or two.
