Part of Helen West, book 4
First published 1999
Helen West has built her career on putting criminals behind bars. But Mr. Logo proves different. Case after case, the Crown Prosecutor watches her sexual molestation charges against him crumble in court. The evidence never quite sticks. The witnesses falter. Logo walks free each time. Now Helen discovers Logo has targeted someone close to home. A young clerk working in her own office has caught his attention. Helen knows what Logo is capable of. She understands his patterns. She has seen the damage he leaves behind. But knowing and proving remain two different things. The legal system that Helen serves has failed her repeatedly. Logo operates just beyond the reach of the law she represents. Helen must decide how far she will go to protect an innocent victim when the courts cannot. The choice forces her to confront the limits of justice and the weight of personal responsibility.
