The Witness plot
Alex and André Hanscombe must deal with the devastating consequences of a brutal act of violence. When Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common in 1992, André became a single parent overnight. He set aside his own grief and made his son Alex—the only eyewitness to the attack—the center of his world. As he navigates the relentless media attention and the urgency of an increasingly desperate police investigation, the well-being of his traumatized son becomes his sole concern.
