Anne Cadwallader - Crossing Over - PB - BRAND NEW

Product Description

1987, Belfast burns while Westminster looks away and lawyers pretend justice still exists. Lena Dawson arrives from London, thinking she understands the law. She’s wrong. Fighting on behalf of a leading loyalist paramilitary, she quickly makes an enemy of a powerful QC. When an IRA ‘godfather’ challenges her to investigate the police killing of his brother, it leads to bitter clashes with her boss. Before long, however, she unravels a conspiracy reaching from Belfast’s back streets to the highest levels of government. As bombs explode and bodies pile up, Lena realises the most dangerous enemy is the truth itself. Crossing Over is a raw and authentic exploration of love and morality in a fractured world.

For fans of Milkman by Anna Burns and Trespasses by Louise Kennedy, this is a story of courage, conflict and the cost of truth. Anne Cadwallader covered the Troubles as an investigative journalist for forty years. Now, in her powerful debut novel, Cadwallader channels decades of frontline reporting into a propulsive legal thriller charged with political suspense and forbidden romance.
