When the Senior Clerk at her Chambers is found dead in an alley, Lee Mitchell doesn’t know who she can trust.
Junior Clerk Dean is pinned for the crime. Working-class and still living on the estate where he grew up, he has the most to gain from Tom’s death. But Lee knows how easily prejudices can snowball into convictions – and steps in to defend him.
As her Chambers crumble into a world of chaos and deceit, and long-buried secrets come to light, Lee must question how well she really knows those closest to her, and who would kill to keep their past hidden . . .
