MARY MELISSA SEATON was raped two days before her wedding. This happened just outside her father's house when she was returning alone at night. Suspicion was to fall on Mary Melissa's friends. And yet the police knew of previous victims who had been attacked in circumstances that closely resembled the case of Mary Melissa. A charge is brought, and the case comes to court. The court-room scenes are intensely exciting. Leslie Ford again effectively demonstrates her skill as a crime novelist, not least in the startling developments that take place during the trial and in its aftermath. |
