'KEEPS THE READER HOOKED TO THE END' - THE TIMES

Halloween night, 1906. Lotta Rae is assaulted by a wealthy gentleman and bravely takes him to trial alongside her barrister, William.

But the verdict is devastating, the consequences unimaginable. When Lotta discovers she has been betrayed, she vows to deliver her own justice.

Twelve years later, William and Lotta meet again: this night, their final reckoning.

The day in court is done. But tonight he will hear her testimony.
