The first installment in the bestselling Anna Travis series from the BAFTA-winning writer and author of Widows, now a major motion picture

His arrest would create a media frenzy. But if he were found innocent, his wouldn't be the only career over - Anna's hard fought for reputation would be destroyed once and for all …
