Product Description
Review
'Classic Fyfield, which is to say it's as good as it gets' Andrew Taylor, Spectator 'Her knowledge of the workings of the human mind - or more correctly the soul - is second to none.' Ian Rankin 'Undiluted brilliance.' The Times 'The best female crime writer in this country' Sunday Express
Book Description
Marianne Shearer is at the height of her career, a dauntingly successful lawyer, respected by her peers and revered by her clients. So why has she killed herself? Her latest case had again resulted in an acquittal, though the outcome was principally due to the death of the prime witness after Marianne's forceful cross-examination. Had this wholly professional and unemotional lawyer been struck by guilt or uncertainty, or is there some secret to be discovered in her blandly comfortable private life? Her death reveals a paucity of friends, a grasping brother and a tenacious colleague, Peter Friel, who is determined to find out if that last trial held the reason for her taking her own life. The transcript holds intriguing clues, but it is another witness at the trial who holds the key to the truth, and she is far from sure that she can reveal her secrets without releasing even more deceit and destruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars
blood from stone, Aug 8 2009
By Mildred Depallo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blood from Stone (Hardcover)
Fyfield has done it again. She is the greatest legal procedural author, and her plotting is outstanding. Devilishly dark, but never unlikely.
Listmania!
