...your worst nightmare...
Leila was supposed to drop Max off that morning. But she forgot.
Racing to the carpark, she grasps the horror of what she has done....

What follows is an explosive high-profile trial that will tear the family apart. But as the case progresses, it becomes clear there’s more to this incident than meets the eye....

"An enthralling, heartbreaking and thrilling courtroom drama that had me shouting out loud and gripped until the last page." (Nadine Matheson, author of The Jigsaw Man)
"Brilliantly tense, this is another clever page-turner from Kia Abdullah. A nightmare scenario evolves into an engrossing human drama that I couldn’t put down. Just superb." (Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City)
"A stunning courtroom drama, taut, tantalising, deftly paced, with a denouement that will leave you reeling." (Saga magazine)
"Abdullah’s legal thrillers make John Grisham seem like a maiden aunt." (Sunday Times Crime Club)

Good story, not totally original.
Great listen, I really enjoyed it, but the story line seemed very familiar, there was a CSI episode called Feeling the Heat in 2003 that is very similar, albeit no court case,
Narration was very good.
