ssk (Australia) (2009/01/14):
Jess Koster thinks she has conquered the crippling panic attacks that have plagued her since the unexplained disappearance of her mother, eight years ago. But they are back with a vengeance. And not without reason. Being a chief prosecutor in the State Attorney's office exposes Jess to some decidedly low life types. Like Rick Ferguson, about to be tried for rape - until his victim goes missing. Another inexplicable disappearance.If only Jess didn't feel so alone. Her father is about to remarry, her sister is busy being the perfect wife and mother, her ex-husband has a new girlfriend. And besides, he's Rick Ferguson's defence lawyer... Battling with a legal system that all too often judges women by appalling double standards, living under the constant threat of physical danger, fighting to overcome the emotional legacy of her mother's disappearance, Jess is in danger of going under. And it looks as though someone is determined that she should disappear too...
