## ***An attractive student. An older professor. Think you know the story? Think again...*** She has everything at stake; he has everything to lose. But one of them is lying, all the same. When an Oxford student accuses one of the university's professors of sexual assault, DI Adam Fawley's team think they've heard it all before. But they couldn't be more wrong. Because this time, the predator is a woman and the shining star of the department, and the student a six-foot male rugby player. Soon DI Fawley and his team are up against the clock to figure out the truth. What they don't realise is that someone is watching. **And they have a plan to put Fawley out of action for good...**

Previously … in the Fawley files
This is the fifth book in the Fawley series, so if this is the first one you’ve picked up you might like a quick summary of the key members of the team, so you can hit the ground running. Starting, of course, with the man himself …
Name
DI Adam Fawley
Age
46
Married?
Yes, to Alex, 44. She’s a lawyer working in Oxford.
Children?
The Fawleys’ ten-year-old
son Jake took his own life two years ago. They were devastated and thought they’d never be able to have another child. But now Alex is pregnant again …
Personality
Introspective, observant and intelligent, outwardly resilient, inwardly less so. He doesn’t care that Alex earns more than he does, or that she’s taller than him in high heels. He’s good at lateral thinking and bad at office politics.
He’s compassionate and fair-minded, but it’s not all positives: he can be impatient and he has a short temper. He was brought up in a dreary North London suburb, and he’s adopted, though he only discovered that by accident – to this day his parents have never discussed it.
He doesn’t watch crime on
TV
(he has enough of it during the day); he listens to Oasis and Bach and Roxy Music (Alex once
told him he looks like Bryan Ferry, to which he replied ‘I wish’); if he had a pet it would be a cat (but he’s never owned one); his favourite wine is Merlot and his favourite food is Spanish (though he eats far too much pizza); and surprise, surprise, his favourite colour is blue.
Name
DS Chris Gislingham
(recently promoted from
DC
)
Age
42
Married?
Yes, to Janet
Children?
Billy, nearly 2
Personality
Chirpy, good-humoured, hard-working, decent. And a serious Chelsea fan.
Name
DC Gareth Quinn
(recently demoted from
DS
, after getting involved with a suspect)
Age
36
Married?
No chance
Personality
Cocky, ambitious, good-looking. Fawley describes him as ‘sharp suit and blunt razor’.
Name
DC Verity Everett
Age
33
Married?
No. But has a cat (Hector)
Personality
Easy-going personally, ruthless professionally. Lacks the confidence she should have in her own abilities (as
Fawley is well aware).
Name
DC Erica Somer
Age
29
Married?
No. But she’s just started seeing a
DI
in Hampshire Police, Giles Saumarez.
