Produktbeschreibung

Hope is in short supply for Kelsey Brand.

Abandoned by her junkie mother Grace and sent to 'The Bushes' children's care home, 14 year-old Kelsey is all alone in the world. Desperate to end her miserable, short life, she attempts suicide - by drinking bleach. And when Grace's mutilated corpse is discovered, it seems that things for Kelsey are only going to get worse - especially when she is named as the chief suspect...

Enter Lilly Valentine. A lawyer who has devoted her life to defending these forgotten children, her feisty exterior conceals a heart of gold. Determined to prove Kelsey's innocence, she sets out to find the real killer, encountering a world of prostitution, drugs and violence, at times risking her own life. For there are twisted individuals who will stop at nothing to keep their depravity concealed and mute, vulnerable Kelsey is the perfect scapegoat for their crimes. It's up to Lilly to prove Kelsey's innocence - to give a voice to this silent, terrified child.
