awyer Kelly McCann, defends men accused of rape.
She’s fought to build a successful career as a criminal defence attorney, with a speciality in defending men accused of sex crimes – falsely accused, she always maintains.
Her detractors call her a traitor to her gender, but she doesn’t care: she loves to win.
Kelly’s most recent victory is securing an acquittal for a world-renowned scientist accused of sexually assaulting his female employees.
But the thrill of her victory is short-lived. That very night she, too, becomes the victim of a brutal sexual assault. And almost as horrific as the attack is the fact that she can’t tell anyone who the perpetrator is – not without destroying her career in the process.
Philadelphia
The city’s courthouse and corridors within are used to maximum effect but this could take place in any city in America. The sense of place is not important here but the sense of injustice that happens to women all over the world is what is really on show.
Philadelphia and Boston both feature but they are a backdrop to the action of the thriller.
