SHORTLISTED FOR THE BLOODY SCOTLAND DEBUT PRIZE 2022 SHORTLISTED
FOR THE HISTORICAL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION DEBUT CROWN 2022 Glasgow,
1817: Jean Campbell - a young, Deaf woman - is witnessed throwing a
child into the River Clyde from the Old Bridge. If found guilty she
faces one of two fates; death by hanging or incarceration in an
asylum. But Jean's deafness leaves her isolated and unable to
defend herself, until the authorities call in Robert Kinniburgh, a
talented teacher from the Deaf & Dumb Institution. Through a
difficult process of trial and error, Robert and Jean manage to
find a rudimentary way of communicating with each other. As Jean
grows to trust Robert, she reveals what really happened on that
bridge over the river Clyde. And Robert, now embroiled in this dark
case, must act quickly to ensure justice is served, before it is
too late. 'Based on a case from Scottish legal history, Smith's
novel skilfully combines crime fiction with a woman's struggle to
speak the truth' The Times 'Fascinating' Sally Magnusson
