Could Mark be causing her injuries? Called out to their cliff-top house one night, Sergeant Stephanie King finds two bodies entangled on blood-drenched sheets. Where does murder begin?

As the accused stands trial, the jury is forced to consider - is there ever a proper defence for murder? / From the Back Cover: So this is how it ends. It is clear to me now: one of us has to die. Some deaths are inevitable. Others can be prevented. And then there are tragedies driven by their own momentum, causing harm after harm, loss after loss. Yes. It is time to end this. / About the Author: Rachel Abbott began her career as an independent author in 2011, with Only the Innocent, which became a No.1 bestseller on Kindle, topping the chart for four weeks.
