Accused by Lynda La Plante
THE ACCLAIMED LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE QUEEN OF CRIME DRAMA Young Cassie Booth goes missing on her paper round. Then her bloodstained jacket is found in a boathouse belonging to Karl Wilding - but there is little evidence against him. Meanwhile, a routine visit by Detective Inspector Pat North to appease persistent complainer Stephen Warrington soon spirals into something far more sinister. As his behaviour becomes increasingly obsessive, North suspects that Warrington has been involved in a far more horrific crime. Only one of the men is guilty of Cassie's murder. But can the jury unravel the complex web of lies and deliver justice?Lynda La Plante was born in Liverpool. She is the author of over forty novels, all of which have been bestsellers.
