Publisher's Synopsis
Diane Heybridge was found hanging in a dingy London bedsit with a blood orange in her mouth. Her callous, jilted partner Brent Stainsby stands accused of her murder and he's turned to the maverick legal team William Benson and Tess de Vere to defend him. However, as the trial unfolds it soon becomes clear that there is far more to Diane Heybridge than meets the eye. By the same token, Brent Stainsby isn't who he seems to be either. He's hiding a motive for murder and may well be playing a deadly game of poker with the judicial process. What began as a simple trial rapidly turns into a complex search for the truth beyond the confines of the courtroom.
