520			_aBritain's criminal justice system is put on trial in this compelling story about a mother who is charged with shooting the man who raped and killed her child. Grace Yardley is an iron-willed, enigmatic, intensely private yet utterly alluring woman who wins the admiration of detective inspector Evans as he investigates her daughter's murder. When the captured killer is freed on a technicality, Grace shoots him down before TV cameras. The result is a trial that grips the conscience of the nation. It is left to Grace's advocate, Nigel Buxton who is also succumbing to her charm to defend her in a most unexpected way, even as evidence against his client mounts. Anguished mother or liar and prostitute which is she? Readers will be mesmerized by this highly authentic first novel.
