Scales of Injustice

Cardiothoracic surgeon, Sebastian Swift, finds himself in the dock at the Old Bailey, accused of murdering his pregnant partner. Plagued by traumatic amnesia, he remembers nothing of her death, only fractured images of a night he cannot piece together. He is found guilty and sent to Wandsworth Prison to await sentencing. Inside, Sebastian is thrust into a brutal world of violence and bloodshed. An act of compassion toward a vulnerable young inmate binds him to a dangerous chain of events, and when the prison van returning him to Wandsworth after his sentencing is ambushed, and the guards are killed, he is forced into exile. As Sebastian disappears into a new life in France, the novel weaves backwards to uncover the events that led to his downfall: a fatal operation, a grieving widower, and the silence that spawned a tragedy. Told across dual timelines, Scales of Injustice is a tense, emotionally charged novel about the miscarriage of justice and the salvation of new beginnings.
