A young mother is accused of attempting to poison her own child. Ellie is secretive and challenging - she's had a troubled life - but does that mean she's capable of murder? Criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman is tasked with proving Ellie's innocence. But Sarah's desperate pursuit of the truth will draw her - and her five-year-old son - into unimaginable danger... Unsettling and compulsive, In the Blood is a chilling study of class, motherhood and power. One Dark, Two Light New Year's Eve, London. Outside the Hope & Glory pub, a man has been left to die. A victim of extraordinary violence, he will never walk or speak again. He remains in hospital, nameless, until criminal defence lawyer Sarah Kellerman walks onto his ward. Sarah barely recognises the man she once worked with; he was honourable and kind. What was he involved in? Who wanted him dead? But in her race to uncover the truth, Sarah comes to realise there are two men in her life that she never really knew at all... The Woman on the Ledge A tragic accident? Or murder? A woman falls to her death from a London bank's twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace. You're arrested for her murder. You tell the police that you only met the victim the previous night at your office party. She was threatening to jump from the roof, but you talked her down. You've got nothing to do with this tragedy. You're clearly being framed. So why do the police keep picking holes in your story? And why doesn't your lawyer seem to believe you? It soon becomes obvious that you're keeping secrets. But who are you trying to protect? And why?
