From Cara Hunter, the New York Times bestselling author of Murder in the Family, comes the fifth novel in her DI Fawley detective series, one of Britain's most enduringly popular and mega-selling crime series.

When DI Adam Fawley is assigned a sexual assault case filed by an Oxford student against a tenured professor, he expects the facts to match up with the far too many previous reports he's investigated time and again. But neither he nor anyone on his team imagined the victim would turn out to be a male rugby player accusing one of the university's most respected female professors.

As the detectives try to unravel the truth behind the he said/she said crime, another threat arises--someone with a personal grudge against Fawley. . .
