✦ Synopsis


When Audrey Marshall sends her daughter Emily to the religious boarding school where she herself was educated a generation before, memories return - memories of a culture of child sexual abuse presided over by a highly-regarded priest. Audrey turns to barrister Ben Schroeder in search of justice for Emily and herself. But there are powerful men involved, men determined to protect themselves at all costs. Will they succeed? Is there indeed one law for the rich and powerful, and one law for...?

Praise for Peter Murphy

'An intelligent amalgam of spy story and legal drama' - Times

'Murphy's clever legal thriller revels in the chicanery of the English law courts of the period' - Independent
