Description
Thanks to a nomadic childhood, Revelle Lee is fluent in ten languages, which she puts to use at crime scenes and in courtrooms across London. It's a stressful job, one that makes her privy to the most personal and often darkest details of others' lives. On the home front, she's close to adopting a six-year-old boy named Elliot from foster care and is determined to be the mother she never had.
When Revelle is called to translate a police interview and sees a miscarriage of justice play out, she can't let it go. Putting both the adoption and her career at risk, she deliberately mistranslates an alibi to put a man she knows is guilty behind bars.
Revelle thinks she's gotten away with it free and clear—and her conscience is unburdened at first. But soon, someone seems to know what she's done—and about the terrible error she made a long time ago—and is intent on destroying her life piece by piece.
A compulsively readable psychological thriller, The Interpreter will bring into question everything you know about justice, love, and redemption.
