In the Courts Hands - Fiona Gartland

“If it had rained on the 25th of April at least one woman would not 

have died. Not that I bear any responsibility for that. Nothing I did

intentionally caused anyone’s death.”

Stenographer Beatrice Barrington witnesses a meeting between the

defendant in the criminal case she’s working on and a woman who later

contacts a member of the jury. Before Beatrice can take any action, 

the juror is found dead. Still trying to deal with her difficult past, 

Beatrice is pulled into a world of deception, danger and blackmail. 

Helped by her friend, retired Detective Gabriel Ingram, she is in a 

race against time to find the truth behind the death of the jurywoman 

before the trial

collapses and more people die. Then a stalker with a familiar face 

begins to watch her every move. Now, for her, it becomes a struggle to 

Will Beatrice identify the killer in time?
