Andrew, the rapist client of Leigh, is a stock psychopath from central casting, caricatured way past the point of credibility. Trying to be objective, it is well written for the most part and the characterisation of the two sisters is done well, even if that meant that I disliked both of them to the point of not wishing to spend time in their company and not caring what happened to them. Slaughter and I are clearly not kindred spirits. By the time I finished I felt that I needed to scrub my mind out with a brillo pad to get rid of the slime. The constant, casual use of the foulest of foul language didn’t help matters. I’ll admit it straight away – I found the subject matter of this sordid and the graphic descriptions of rape, extreme drug abuse, violence and gore more than distasteful. And it soon becomes clear he’s enjoying the power this gives him over both sisters… She doesn’t recognise Andrew at first, but he recognises her – and he knows what she and Callie did that night. One day she is asked to defend a man who has been charged with a horrific rape. Leigh, on the other hand, has lifted herself out of their deprived beginnings, becoming a lawyer now working in a prestigious firm. Since then, Callie has spiralled into drug addiction, partly because of this early experience, and partly from getting hooked on pain medication after an accident that has left her with all kinds of physical problems. The only person who can help her is her younger, estranged sister Calli, the last person Leigh would ever want to ask for help.Back when they were teenagers, sisters Callie and Leigh committed a terrible crime, although they had good justification for it. AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT If she can’t get him acquitted, she’ll lose much more than the case. More to the point, he knows what happened twenty years ago, and why Leigh has spent two decades running.
But when she meets the accused, she realises that it’s no coincidence that he’s chosen her as his attorney. It’s the highest profile case she’s ever been given – a case which could transform her career, if she wins. BUT NOW THE PAST IS CATCHING UP Then a case lands on her desk – defending a wealthy man accused of rape. HIDES A DEVASTATING PAST But Leigh’s ordinary life masks a childhood which was far from average… a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and finally torn apart by a devastating act of violence. She has a good job as a defence attorney, a daughter doing well in school, and even her divorce is relatively civilised – her life is just as unremarkable as she’d always hoped it would be.
