Description
Shadow Play by Frances Fyfield is a tense and intelligent crime thriller featuring Crown Prosecutor Helen West—a woman caught between the demands of justice, the chaos of her personal life, and the menace of a man who seems untouchable. Mr Logo, a seedy figure with a trail of petty crimes, continually slips through the cracks of the legal system, leaving Helen frustrated and uncertain whether he’s a harmless drifter or a real danger to society.
As Helen battles professional pressures, fractured relationships, and the insubordination of a damaged young colleague, she’s drawn into a web of violence and fear that tests both her judgment and her survival. Fyfield, a former prosecutor herself, brings striking realism to every courtroom exchange and moral dilemma, crafting a story that’s as much about psychological conflict as it is about crime.
Shadow Play is a sharp, character-driven thriller perfect for readers who enjoy complex female leads and suspense grounded in authenticity.
