Her name was Sarah Longmore and she was charged with murdering her former lover.

When Jack Irish is asked to look into Sarah Longmore's defence, he's more than happy to oblige. After all, whenever somebody seems as guilty as Sarah does, it's usually for a good reason.

But her case will prove far from straightforward, and Jack's investigation far from swift and painless.
