The Bird Table

Sally Donne's cross-examination of Roger Nichols is brilliant. Accused of rape, his fragile credibility is eroded by Sally's every question. Nichols' barrister needs a miracle to save his client, and a miracle is what he gets. For, out of nowhere, a witness comes forward to corroborate Nichols' story, with evidence to prove he was the victim of a blackmail plot. But before this explosive information can be brought forward, Roger Nichols, convinced that he is bound for jail, puts a shotgun to his head. It is a shock for everyone on the case, but for Sally it precipitates a trail of events that will change her life for ever. . .
