Inhaltsangabe

A single push is all it takes…

When a young woman’s body is found at the bottom of a flight of steps, suspicion quickly lands on her volatile boyfriend, Sean Kerevan. The evidence is damning, but Sean swears he didn’t do it.

Convinced Sean isn’t getting a fair hearing, solicitor Pamela Macklin asks criminologist Anna Scavolini to investigate the case. Anna has every reason to refuse – from Sean’s violent past to her young son’s ongoing behavioural issues… to the worrying health problems she’s trying her hardest to ignore.

But Anna can’t resist the pull of the mystery. Soon, she’s caught in a web of shifting alibis, family feuds and dangerous men with secrets worth killing for.

To uncover the truth, Anna must face the possibility that Sean’s not the only one with something to hide. And unless she works fast, her search for justice may just cost her more than she’s willing to give…
