A legal thriller set in South Africa 30 years after the transition to democracy.
When defence lawyer Chelsea Turner discovers that her client, the successful businessman Joel Radebe, is linked to a 1980s politically motivated bombing that radically changed the course of her life, she steps back from leading the defence. When her colleague, Kaylin Adams, takes over and new truths begin to surface, both women are forced to confront the past.
South African medical doctor Cathy Donald has written five previous novels, including The Silence of the Shadows.
