Death Mask Kathryn Fox
Giles Morgan
Dr Anya Crichton is a forensic physician with an expertise in helping victims of sexual assault. She becomes involved in a case concerning a woman who has returned from her honeymoon with multiple sexually transmitted diseases even though she claims never to have had sex with anyone else than her husband before her wedding night. When her husband is tested and proves not to be the source of the sexually transmitted diseases it emerges that she has been the unknowing victim of gang rape. Her husband admits to drugging her and participating in her rape with fellow players from his football team.
Anya’s involvement in the case in Australia is widely reported in the media and leads to a study of the link between sportsmen and sexual assault.
