The interpreter

£8.99

A childhood spent moving around the world left Revelle Lee with an unusual gift – the ability to fluently speak 11 languages. Now, Revelle spends her days translating for witnesses, victims, and the accused across London crime scenes and courtrooms. It’s a stressful job, though not as stressful as the process she is currently going through to adopt little boy, Elliot. She is determined to be the mother to him that she never had, and to make up for her own past mistakes. But when it seems a murderer will go free, Revelle puts the adoption and her job at risk, deliberately mis-translating the alibi to ensure he is found guilty. No one can ever find out that she interfered or she will lose her son and her livelihood. The problem is someone already knows what she’s done – and they want justice of their own.

Description

‘I raced through it. Brilliant writing’ Harriet Tyce author of Blood Orange

Single mother Revelle Lee spends her days translating the words of witnesses and defendants in London’s court rooms.

Only she knows what they’re saying; a misinterpreted word could decide their fate.

So when she believes a grave injustice is about to take a place, and a guilty man might be declared innocent, Revelle twists an alibi to change the verdict and send him to prison. No one can ever find out that she interfered or she will lose everything – even her son.

But someone knows what she’s done… And they want justice of their own.
