Travelling by train, solicitor Rosa Epton read of schoolboy Jason Cutler, killed by a hit-and-run driver.

Rosa carried on with her normal work - until a client she has recently defended on a drugs charge is found murdered in the grounds of Jason's school. Could there be a connection?

Reviews

[Infosifter · Rating 2 out of 5]

Rather unremarkable; no character development to speak of, though the mystery was reasonable enough.
