A protest group hits the headlines when unrest at a women’s peace camp explodes into murder. Already on the scene, journalist Lindsay Gordon desperately tries to strike a balance between personal and professional responsibilities.
As she peels back the layers of deception surrounding the protest and its opponents, she finds that no one — ratepayer or reporter, policeman or peace woman — seems wholly above suspicion. Then Lindsay uncovers a truth that even she can scarcely believe.
