Description
Brant, eastern England, 2016: Anna Milburn has been a barrister for almost twenty years and has, she thinks, long since made her peace with the compromises inherent in the demands of her profession. However the Leaman case – involving the murder of a local police officer – tests her resolve and beats at her conscience. Like Pilate, but for a different reason, she must ask herself 'What is truth?' Her friendship with Rachel Wells, who is another ambitious, brilliant, achievement-orientated woman, but who has over the last few years learned that there is more to life, will be instrumental in Anna's attempt to rebalance her own life, conscience, ethics and faith.
