It's the trial - and scandal - of the decade: Greta Grahame, the beautiful young wife of Sir Peter Robinson MP, is accused of conspiring to murder her predecessor, Peter's first wife Lady Anne.
The prosecution case depends heavily on the evidence of one witness - Greta's sixteen-year-old stepson Thomas who was present on the night two hitmen broke into their ancestral home. His testimony steadfastly links Greta to the killers.
But the boy's motives are unclear. Is he so crazed by grief that he would frame his stepmother for murder? Or is he telling the truth - that this cunning young woman will stop at nothing in her pursuit of wealth and status . . . ?

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Simon Tolkien Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 352 In the forbidding surroundings of the Old Bailey, the trial of Greta Grahame begins. The beautiful wife of MP Peter Robinson stands accused of the murder of Peter's first wife, Lady Anne. The prosecution case depends heavily on the evidence of one witness - Greta's sixteen-year-old stepson Thomas. Thomas - a dreamy, bookish boy - was present but hidden on the night two men broke into their ancestral home, The House of the Four Winds, and killed his mother. His testimony steadfastly links Greta to the crime. But family relationships are far from straightforward in the Robinson household. Is the obsessive Thomas telling the truth? Is Greta really a murderer, or simply a woman caught up in a young boy's revenge? Secondhand, Paperback. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780718145750-SECONDHAND
