From the back cover....

It is a golden evening of high summer. Walking a ridge on the Welsh borders, Robin Timariot meets by chance an elegant middle-aged woman who seems strangely out of place. They exchange a few words, but those words prove unforgettable. A few days later Timariot learns from the newspapers that, just hours after their meeting, the woman was raped and murdered. A man is swiftly charged and convicted of the crime, but a string of inexplicable events begins to convince Timariot that all is not what it seems. The closer he gets to the truth, the more hideous and uncertain it seems to be. And far too late he realizes that anybody who uncovers it is unlikely to be allowed to live.
