A thrilling debut based based on the real case of Sarah
Gale, a seamstress and mother sentenced to hang for her
alleged role in a shocking murder, bringing together the
accused with an idealistic young lawyer assigned to
investigate whether she is a guilty murderer or an
unfortunate victim. Something is keeping Sarah Gale silent despite the risk of a
death sentence. Is it guilt? Fear? Love? Sentenced to hang for her alleged role in a shocking murder,
Sarah confronts the young lawyer asked to examine her guilty
verdict. She says she is innocent, but she refuses to
explain the evidence given in court — the evidence that
convicted her. Battling his own demons, Edmund Fleetwood is
determined to find the truth — and to uncover why Sarah
won't talk. Darkness hides in Sarah's past, Edmund is certain, but
surviving on the streets of London often means that one has
to make difficult choices. Does it matter what else she's
done, if she's innocent of murder? As the day of execution
draws closer, Edmund struggles to discover whether she is
the victim of a terrible miscarriage of justice, or a
dangerous and devious criminal. Bringing 1837 London alive in the most visceral way, The
Unseeing is a tense novel of human frailty and fear — and of
the terrible consequences of jealousy and misunderstanding.
