Description
When the victim of a violent gang rape accuses five premier sportsmen of the attack, she has no idea that her suffering has only just begun . . .
It's a scandal that rocks a nation of sports fans. But, in spite of a huge amount of evidence, no one seems to believe her.
So when Dr Anya Crichton, a forensic expert in sexual assault, is asked to become involved by the team managers, she simply can't say no.
But as she investigates further, Anya realises that the scandals, violence and abuses run much deeper, and much further into the past than she could ever have imagined.
And it's down to her to find out exactly who's responsible. Before it happens again.
