Description
FWPC Janet Morris is in trouble - in her own police station - and even Kate Baeier is unable to help her.
Is it because WPC Morris can't call for help Or is it something even more sinister After five years abroad as a war reporter, interviewing Chief Superintendent Ellis for a personality piece should be straightforward for Kate Baeier. And it is. Until she hears of WPC Morris' alleged rape - in Ellis' station - and begins to ask quetions. Evasions and silence quickly turn to threats as Kate, tenacious - and sometimes reckless - pursues all increasingly terrifying collision course with the truth.Reviews
Slovo combines adroit planning with visceral thrills. Eminently satisfying * Literary Review *
