About the book

"Hugh and Roz Eastwood have an enviable lifestyle. Hugh is a rising political star and, after the birth of their longed-for first child, Roz returns to work as a high-flying magazine editor, leaving Charlie in the care of his new nanny Alice." "Just arrived back in the office, Roz receives an hysterical telephone call from Alice which signals the end of their blissful existence. Her beloved son is fatally injured." "When Charlie dies soon afterwards, the high-profile of the couple ensures frenzied media activity and when the past of the New Zealand nanny is uncovered, Alice quickly becomes the chief suspect." "Journalist Mady O'Neil, Roz's best friend and a mother herself, is unable to comprehend the tragedy. How could anyone be capable of harming a defenceless baby? But her boss at the newspaper insists that the nanny's point of view must be heard and Mady is the person to do it. Compromised between her career and friendship, Mady is forced to investigate and begins to discover that the truth may lie closer to home."--BOOK JACKET.
