Silence In Court — Patricia Wentworth

Someone wanted her to HANG!

Carey Silence stood in court charged with a murder she knew she had not done. Somewhere a killer was at large…someone who had quietly poisoned an old woman to prevent a shocking secret from becoming known…and to stop the changing of a will. Cunningly the murderer arranged to destroy Carey…to trap her in a damning web of incriminating evidence. But one person believed in her. Jeff Stewart loved Carey and set out to clear her. So while Carey stood on trial for her life, Jeff plunged into a battle of wits with a money-mad adventurer. And then a surprise witness appeared…a witness who could throw a bombshell into court and bring sudden danger to a ruthless killer.
