A mother’s worst fear—could her own son be a murderer?
Sarah Newby left school at fifteen, raised a child alone on a tough inner-city estate, and fought her way into a career as a criminal barrister. But her hard-won success is shattered when her son, Simon, is arrested and charged with a string of brutal rapes and murders.
Has Sarah’s relentless drive for her career left her blind to the boy she raised? Simon has lied to her before—so how can she believe him now when he swears he’s innocent? And when Sarah herself uncovers evidence that points to his guilt, how can she possibly defend him in court?
