The Pupil

  A female lawyer is targeted by a colleague in a game of psychological manipulation in this suspense thriller.   Mel has practiced law for twenty years. She’s well-regarded by her peers. Her clients are happy. But behind the scenes her life is disordered. Her son grows increasingly distant from her. The married man she is sleeping with fails to give her what she needs. When a trainee lawyer is allocated to Mel it’s poor timing. The last thing she wants is a pupil watching her every move. And Natasha does watch. She sees each detail—and every mistake. Mel can’t shake the feeling that Natasha isn’t just learning the job. She’s learning Mel. Natasha’s good at getting what she wants, and now Mel has the power to give her all she desires. But when Mel chooses not to, Natasha knows just what Mel’s vulnerabilities are—and how to turn them against her. Mel’s secrets could ruin her. But who will be believed?
