| Summary |
Jessica Dancing Gammage got away with murder?as she admits in the opening sentence of Ure's latest novel (following 2008's The Fault Tree)?but she paid a price. Her new life three years after the event (revealed ever so gradually) involves a move, a dropped surname, estrangement from her adoptive family, a history that follows her, and a dreadful change to her own psyche (being found not guilty is not the same as being innocent). Working for a roadside assistance service, Jessie takes a disturbing call that indicates foul play, and she?s forced back to her old home ground, where her past is remembered and resented. To understand the call and absolve herself from blame in the situation, Jessie plays detective, uncovering a tangled plot as violence threatens and escalates around her, meanwhile turning up information about the truth of her past and ultimately proving herself a vigilante who puts justice first... |
