For Hugh, the dilemma is intensified by the contrast between their lives:Tom, tormented by flashbacks, jobless, with a broken marriage and two children he hardly sees; Hugh, with what he regards as a blessed existence,a rewarding life as a jobbing solicitor and an intensely happy marriage to Lizzie, with whom he has two adopted children, Lou away on her gap year, and fragile, sensitive Charlie, who seems to have overcome his personal demons.
-
After five gears, lawyer Hugh Gwynne's most difficult case has
finally come to court. His client Tom Deacon is claiming damages
for post-traumatic stress after a car accident in which he
witnessed the death of his young daughter by fire. The case is
going well; it seems certain Tom will win the compensation that
will enable him to pick up the pieces of his shattered life.Then
Hugh receives an anonymous letter that throws him into an
impossible dilemma. To stay on the case is unethical, to withdraw
will threaten its success, and Tom Deacon, revealing himself in an
entirely new light, makes it clear that such treacheru will not be
forgiven.
