ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST. SABOTEUR. TERRORIST. <br/> Her client took direct action to ‘stop the coal’. When the rich and powerful take an interest, criminal charges may be the least of their worries … <br/> Cressida Mitsok is a successful corporate lawyer about to make partner at a large city law firm. The only problem will be the partners taking issue with her father serving time for white-collar crime, though no charges were laid against Cressida. <br/> But during her partnership interview, the lights go out – everywhere. Three NSW coal-fired power stations have been blown up, and the boss’s daughter, Joanne, is among those responsible. The boss makes it clear that Cressida’s partnership now rides on her defending Joanne. <br/> Cressida’s hothead new client has already confessed to sabotage but might be charged with terrorism. Cressida is a building lawyer, not an expert in criminal law. As Cressida struggles to get on top of the case, manage her usual caseload and keep her partnership hopes alive – not to mention her ailing love life – she becomes impressed with her client’s passion. <br/> Soon Cressida’s life is being turned upside-down and she keeps finding herself on the wrong side of the law. Could she be more like her father than she realised?
