"Lügen. Intrigen. Rache
Eine Frau stürzt von der Dachterrasse eines Londoner Hochhauses in den Tod. Zehn Tage später wird Tate Kinsella wegen Mordes von der Polizei verhaftet.
Tate behauptet im Verhör, dass sie das Opfer erst auf der Büro-Weihnachtsfeier kennengelernt hat. Die Frau drohte da schon, vom Dach zu springen, aber Tate hat es ihr ausgeredet. Sie besteht darauf, dass sie nichts mit dieser Tragödie zu tun hat. Irgendjemand will ihr offensichtlich etwas anhängen.
Aber warum entdeckt die Polizei dann immer mehr Ungereimtheiten in ihrer Geschichte? Und warum glaubt Tates Anwältin ihr nicht?
Es wird schnell klar, dass Tate Geheimnisse hat. Doch wen will sie beschützen? Und warum?"

But in her race to uncover the truth, Sarah comes to realise there are two men in her life that she never really knew at all...

"In southeast London, a young mother has been accused of an unthinkable crime: poisoning her own child – and then leaving him to die. The mother, Ellie, is secretive and challenging – she's had a troubled upbringing – but does that mean she's capable of murder?
Balancing the case with raising her disabled five-year-old son, criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman sets out in desperate pursuit of the truth. But when her own child becomes unwell, Sarah realises she's been drawn into a dangerous game. Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power from a new star in crime fiction."
