"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

About the Author:
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.
From AudioFile:
Frances Fyfield has written another top-notch psychological novel, which Rula Lenska reads with skill. The relationship between Bailey and Helen West continues to grow and becomes more complex with this book. In addition, the other characters ring true both in voice and accent. Fyfield explores the frustrations of the legal community in dealing with the physical abuse of its clients. Fyfield's characters are never perfect, though their motives are always understandable. Lenska is certainly able to make them come alive. D.M.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
