Description
"Bettle is definitely a name to watch" Yorkshire Post Marcus Kirkwall walks into Abby Penhaligon's legal clinic with an unusual problem. The young vicar has heard a dying man's confession to a murder committed years before. Having seen another man tried and sentenced for his crime, he now wants Marcus to make amends. Re-opening an old murder investigation won't be easy but Abby knows this could be the case to kick-start her career. And, as a working class woman with no connections and a sky-high overdraft, she needs every bit of help she can get. But as she uncovers secret after secret, a gang of ruthless criminals are watching her with interest. And if Abby gets too close to the truth, her first murder case could be her last...
