'Vivid and exciting' The Times WINNER OF THE PRIX DU MASQUE She was
found hanging in a dingy London bedsit with a blood orange in her
mouth. Diane Heybridge, a young woman without a past or much of a
future, has captured in death the compassion denied her in life.
For the prosecution, this seeming suicide is nothing more than a
bungled killing and a disgusted public looks to Court 2 of the Old
Bailey for justice. Her callous, jilted partner Brent Stainsby
stands accused of her murder and he's turned to the maverick legal
team William Benson and Tess de Vere to defend him. However, as the
trial unfolds it soon becomes clear that there is far more to Diane
Heybridge than meets the eye. She wasn't the weak and downtrodden
victim now being presented to the jury. She was capable of a
sophisticated form of vengeance. By the same token, Brent Stainsby
isn't who he seems to be either. He's hiding a motive for murder
unknown to the police and may well be playing a deadly game of
poker with the judicial process. What began as a simple trial
rapidly turns into a complex search for the truth beyond the
confines of the courtroom...
