Synopsis

Fiction Novel Liza Barclay, aged 10, shot her mother while trying to protect her from her violent stepfather, ex-FBI agent Charley Foster. Despite her stepfather's claim that it was a deliberate act, the Court ruled it an accident. Many people, however, agreed and tabloids compared Liza to the infamous Lizzie Borden. At 25, her name changed to Celia, she marries a childless sixty-year old widower and they have a son. Before their marriage, she had confided her earlier life to him. Two years on, on his deathbed, he tells her that he would want her to re-marry, but makes her swear never to reveal her past to to anyone - a promise that plunges her into a new cycle of violence. Three years later, happily re-married, Celia is shocked when her second husband gives her a gift - the house where she killed her mother. When the real estate agent who has made the sale recognises her and, soon after, is murdered, Celia is accused of the crime.
