A Clear Conscience — Frances Fyfield

Helen West, Crown Prosecutor in domestic violence court, is working up a good case of burnout: Justice-by-the-book doesn't seem to be working for the women she represents and her love affair with Police Superintendent Geoffrey Baily is losing its fire. Things suddenly heat up when Helen learns that humble Cath, her cleaning woman, is being beaten by her husband. Cath has no family--her beautiful brother, Damien, has recently been brutally murdered--so she needs all the help she can get. But as the truth about Cath's young life, her marriage, and her brother's murder takes shape, help and justice begin to look forever beyond reach.
