Publisher Description

Four bystanders in the wrong place at the wrong time. Witnesses to the shocking shooting of a teenage boy. A moment that changes their lives forever. Fiona, a midwife, is plagued by panic attacks and unable to work. Has she the strength to testify? Mike, a delivery driver and family man, faces an impossible decision when his frightened wife forces him to choose - us or the court case. Cheryl, a single-mother, doesn't want her child to grow up in the same climate of fear.

Dare she speak out and risk her own life? Zak, a homeless man, offers to talk in exchange for witness protection and the chance of a new start.

"it's very well written, has great characters - I'm just filled with dread as I read because I keep thinking something awful is going to happen to one of the witnesses. or their kids. or their dogs. I'm skimming through the lovely prose because I just need to know what happens!"

    " There's a need for an 'abandoned' category alongside, 'to read' 'reading', 'read', I think. I just couldn't be bothered with this after a few chapters. It read like it's just waiting to be a mid-week ITV drama with Lesley Sharpe as the motherly midwife "
