520 1 $a"Sally Doone's cross-examination of Roger Nichols is nothing short of brilliant. Accused of rape, he finds his version of events twisted away from him, as Sally's every question erodes his fragile credibility. Nichols' barrister can do little but listen in awe: he needs a miracle to save his client after such a display, and a miracle is what he gets. For, out of nowhere, a witness comes forward to corroborate Nichols' story, with evidence to prove he was the victim of an elaborate blackmail plot." "But before this explosive information can be brought forward, an even more sensational piece of news reaches the court: depressed by Sally's cross-examination, convinced that he is bound for jail, Roger Nichols has put a shotgun to his head, and let God be his judge. It is a shock for everyone on the case, but for Sally, under pressure at work and at home, it precipitates a trail of events that will change her life for ever." "In a dazed afternoon of indulgence, Sally purchases an expensive painting on impulse, finds herself invited to a wine tasting, and ends up checking herself into the Ritz. And when a not unattractive businessman invites himself to her table, and takes her on a tour of the downstairs casino, Sally finds herself intoxicated on a heady cocktail of alcohol and abandon. But when the pair return to her hotel room, her evening of fun is suddenly superseded by the businessman's own sinister agenda."--BOOK JACKET.
