About This Book

The narrative follows a husband who, after a strange fainting and a vivid vision of his own death, watches his wife become accused of a sudden and suspicious death and dragged into a criminal trial. As legal manoeuvres and a determined defence unfold, personal tensions—jealousy, old rivalries, and solitude—complicate efforts to establish the truth. Parallel threads of investigation, courtroom drama, and intimate psychological reflection probe questions of perception, guilt, and the fragility of reputation as characters confront moral uncertainty and the social consequences of accusation.
