Publisher's Synopsis
It's the trial - and scandal - of the decade: Greta Grahame, the beautiful young wife of Minister of Defence Sir Peter Robinson, is accused of conspiring to murder Peter's first wife, Anne. The prosecution case depends heavily on the evidence of one witness - Greta's sixteen-year-old stepson, Thomas, who was present but hidden on the night two men broke into their ancestral home and killed his mother. His testimony steadfastly links Greta to the hitmen. But the boy's motives are unclear. Is he so crazed by grief that he would frame his stepmother? Or are his feelings toward Greta more complicated than anyone realizes? Or is he telling the truth?
