About the book:
How do you prove your
innocence, when everyone believes the judgment made on your past?
Prison governor Emma
Harrison befriends ex-soldier Leroy Carter, convicted for killing a drug dealer
on a night out, but he's always claimed his innocence. When Leroy is being
transferred to an adult facility in Dartmoor, he makes a desperate bid for freedom.
All he wants is for his case to be re-opened so he can prove his innocence and
re-join the army. Helping to track Leroy down, Emma comes back into contact
with a man from her past she never thought she'd see again. Sgt Billy Williams
had been with her on a hijacked train a few years ago, but is there a deeper
connection between the two of them? Will Leroy ever prove his innocence? Or is
he past judgement?

The review --
I found myself making
a diagram of the storyline as I read the book. The characters were well
developed, but the story had way to many flash rounds for my taste. The story really picked up
about midway through the book and moved quickly to it's shocking ending. I
would love sharing the ending, but you must read that for yourself. If you like
complex stories and show some patience, then the ending is worth it. Like
always Enjoy!
