312 pages ; 21 cm "Thanks to a nomadic childhood, Revelle Lee is fluent in ten languages, which she puts to use at crime scenes and in courtrooms across London. Being a court interpreter is a stressful job, one that makes her privy to the most personal and often dark details of otherśђة lives. In the meantime, shéђةs close to adopting a six-year-old boy named Elliot from foster care. Revelle is determined to be the mother she never had, and to make up for a terrible mistake she made years ago. Though the sweet, loving little boy is learning to trust her, shéђةs begun receiving disturbing messages which she suspects are from his birth family. When one of her cases involves a murder victim she knew slightly, Revelle fears shéђةs seeing a miscarriage of justice play out. Putting both the adoption and her career at risk, she deliberately mistranslates a Polish mańђةs alibi to put his accused friend behind bars, even though he insists héђةs innocent. Revelle thinks shéђةs gotten away with it free and clear. But someone seems to know what shéђةs donéђؤand about her long-ago error and its terrible consequences. And they intend to destroy Revelléђةs life, piece by piece. . ."-- Brooke Robinson.
