Four lives * Three friends * Two sides * One Verdict
Fern Mortimer wants her life back. After five years recovering from a hit-and-run accident, the last thing she needed was a maniac - even a charming one - trying to kill her.
Now, eight months after that attempt on her life, she returns to Portugal to face her nemesis in court.
Raven - her closest ally - offers support throughout. In return she wants a business partner.
Stefan Pereira, has no intention of languishing in prison any longer. He'll do whatever it takes to secure his freedom and complete his mission: He wants Fern dead.
Nessa - his girlfriend - is at his side. She risks losing her best friends for the family she always wanted.
The trial pits them against each other.
Can Fern hold her nerve? She has a strong case, after all and a witness.
Does that even matter, when Stefan has his father's money, the face of an angel and an ability to lie convincingly in three languages?
Inevitably, someone will be the Casualty of Court.
