eleven-year-old girl. But who is truly responsible when one child
kills another? As Curtice sets out to defend the indefensible, he
soon finds himself pitted against an enraged community calling for
blood. When the buildup of pressure takes a sinister turn, he fears
for his wife and young daughter's safety. Must he choose between
his family and the life of a damaged child? With piercing
psychological insight, Lelic examines a community's response to a
hideous crime.
