Without Consent

Description for WITHOUT CONSENT by Frances Fyfield:

No-nonsense attorney Helen West possesses a rare combination of jaded pragmatism and well-guarded vulnerability that makes her perhaps the perfect prosecutor for a rape case. Here, the evidence all points to a police officer, D. S. Ryan; and in a seemingly air-tight case, Helen assumes Ryan's guilt. But is he the man whose cold-blooded intuition about women and their insecurities guarantees him a ready welcome--and an opportunity to commit rape, even murder, without a trace?

This is #6 in A Helen West & Geoffrey Bailey Mystery.
