In the stunning novel Campbell's Kids, Sister Jane Doe is the moniker that the triage team gives to a nun rescued from a forest fire. Her ordeal has left her suffering from amnesia. Nonetheless, there is clear evidence that she herself set the fire in which she very nearly died. After receiving treatment for her burns, she is locked up as a pyromaniac. News reporter Roy Farquhar convinces both the woman and her nurse that she is Maggie Campbell, widow of famed Canadian artist Philip Campbell. The shoe seems to fit. Roy "rescues" her from the forensic ward and lives with her, hoping to profit from the sale of her late husband's art. But when he takes her to the wedding of her "son," Tom Campbell, her memory is jogged so traumatically that she begins to remember who she really is. In particular, she recalls her sordid role as a self-styled avenging angel who used arson and serial murder to stamp out the curse that infected her remote valley: the evils of incest and pedophilia. In the process, she discovers that she is not only the product and victim of incest, but has also committed incest, unwittingly, time and time again. Hence her duties as avenging angel are not yet over ... English-born criminal defense and extradition lawyer Gary Botting has defended many alleged dangerous offenders and clients accused of arson, incest, pedophilia, rape, and murder. He is the author of thirty-five books on diverse subjects. This intense and realistic novel was inspired by a real-life situation, "fictionalized to protect the innocent, precious few of whom are still alive." He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, with his Australian-born wife, Virginia Martin. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/GaryBotting
