Book description

Tips for parole officers:

1. Don't smuggle heroin into prison.
2. Don't drink vodka to relieve stress.
3. Don't French-kiss a colleague to get your boyfriend jealous.
4. Don't snort speed.
5. Don't spend more time with murderers than with your son.
6. Don't invite crack-head clients to your party.

This is Krissie's advice after being in the job for a month. She's happy and in love, but her naivete and blind compassion plunge her into a shocking murder case that could jeopardize everything.

The case is that of Jeremy, who is on remand for the brutal murder of his mother-in-law. A tragic childhood accident combined with his lack of alibi seem to make in an open-and-shut case. But Krissie can't help feeling there has been a miscarriage of justice and battles to secure his release.

A dark family secret is at the heart of the case, and Krissie is out of her depth. Because someone isn't happy. Someone dangerous. Someone who will stop at nothing to get to her.
