Acid Row. The name the beleaguered inhabitants give to the place they live. A no-man's land of single mothers and fatherless children where angry, alienated teenagers control the streets. Into this battleground comes Sophie Morrison, a young doctor visiting a patient in Acid Row. Little does she know she that is entering the home of a known paedophile. And with reports circulating that a tormented child called Amy has disappeared, the vigilantes are out in force. Soon Sophie is trapped at the centre of a terrifying siege, with a man she has come to despise. Whipped to a frenzy by unsubstaniated rumour, the mob unleashes its hatred. Against authority, the law, and the pervert. "Protecting Amy" becomes the catch-all defence for the terrible events that follow. And if murder is part of it, then so be it....

    I did not enjoy this book at all! Although it was a page turner in the way that I felt I had to finish it, which I did very quickly. The subject matter was disturbing but it was not the problem.
