A moment in time that altered everything, that sent the world crashing down around one person…
Fashions change continuously. The law isn't any different. It undergoes changes, often brought about by social attitudes and sometimes in the wake of notorious cases. Authorities may get carried away by the need not to be seen to have acted dismissively or wrongly or too late. Rampant political correctness may result in a failure to carry out even-handed investigations, leading to injustices. And of course someone has to suffer…
This gripping contemporary thriller takes the reader into a dark and murky subject. This is the perfect lockdown read in which secrets accumulate, white lies yield unwanted results, blackmail is ruthlessly employed and family relationships are tested.
Don Morrison, has a new live-in girlfriend, Grace Bennett. His eighteen year old daughter, Emma, newly arrived home from university for her first summer vacation, isn't happy to have her home invaded, as she sees it, by this other woman, especially so soon after the death of her mother, Carol, who was very ill for many years and was cared for by Don. Grace's twenty year old son, Luke, lives at home with his father, Greg, Grace's husband.
The five main characters progress through the hot, rural East Anglian summer, some rather haphazardly, others with a more definite purpose. A young woman, Alex, known to some of them helps things along.
The law takes over at one point, its effects quite devastating for the unprepared.
