Crown Prosecutor Helen West turns a blind eye to her cleaning lady's unhappiness. Until, that is, the paths of her private and professional lives collide, she becomes a witness to the destructive forces of love and guilt, and finds herself applying her own version of justice.

"FYFIELD IS A WONDER . . . A very intricate and surprise-filled plot."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review
Helen West, Crown Prosecutor in domestic violence court, is working up a good case of burnout because justice-by-the-book seldom seems to do the women she represents much good. Helen's love affair with Police Superintendent Geoffrey Bailey also seems to be losing its fire.
Then, as if someone has designed a test case for her, Helen learns that humble Cath, her cleaning woman, is being beaten by her husband. Cath has no family--her beautiful brother, Damien, has recently been brutally murdered--so she needs all the help she can get. Helen is willing to give it.
But as the truth of Cath's young life, her marriage, and her brother's murder begin to take shape, piece by jagged piece, help and justice seem hard to come by . . . and may be forever beyond reach.
"Fyfield is a brilliant writer, her pen dipped in acid and moonbeams."
--The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Powerful stuff . . . Compelling."
--Kirkus Reviews
Frances Fyfield is a criminal lawyer who lives and practices in London, where many of her books are set. She is the author of more than seven suspense novels, most recently, Undercurrents.
