Yvette Erskine's second gritty crime novel with a Tasmanian police setting centres around young police constable Lucy Howard's claim of sexual assault by a fellow officer Nick Greaves.
In a tough, male dominated workforce, this is betrayal. As her case winds through the legal process she encounters firm supporters and brutal detractors. Favours are distributed and received involving all levels of the criminal justice system and government.
In this tense novel Lucy faces the grim truths of her situation, finds a tentative sense of resolve and comes to the realisation that sometime soon she will be yesterday's news and her work colleagues will move on to the latest juicy situation.
