'A white trainer caught the light, and Grace tracked the beam along khaki chinos and a smeared sweatshirt to short brown hair glistening with blood.

The man behind it, Professor Ned Chesham, is hailed as a miracle worker: the vulnerable teenagers who take part in his treatment programme are able to recover better than anyone had hoped. Now, the murder of one of his team throws a spotlight on Chesham, his work, and the 'special girls' under his care.Grace Fisher must tread carefully as she investigates. Chesham has just been knighted - he has friends in high places and brings in vast donations to the hospital he works in. Any suspicions thrown on him risk damaging his patients even further. But the more Grace probes, the clearer it becomes that there is something rotten right at the heart of Chesham's programme.The more of Chesham's secrets that Grace uncovers, the more danger she places herself in from those who do not want this particular boat rocked. .
