**Without Consent by Frances Fyfield - Preloved Psychological Thriller** Frances Fyfield serves up another deliciously dark psychological thriller that'll keep you guessing until the final page. When consent becomes a weapon and trust turns toxic, solicitor Helen West finds herself navigating a minefield of sexual politics and legal loopholes that hit uncomfortably close to home. This isn't your typical courtroom drama - Fyfield, a former Crown Prosecutor who knows her way around both criminals and barristers, crafts a story that's equal parts legal procedural and psychological study. She tackles thorny themes of power, manipulation, and justice with the kind of insider knowledge that makes you squirm in recognition. Perfect for fans of Val McDermid or anyone who enjoys their crime fiction with brains, moral complexity, and zero sugar-coating. This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks shows some love but delivers maximum impact. "Fyfield writes with surgical precision - every cut deliberate and necessary." - Crime Fiction Review "Finally, a legal thriller that doesn't talk down to its readers. Brilliant stuff." - Mystery Reader's Digest
