Safety and security are commodities you can sell in return for excitement, but you can never buy them back.<br /><br />Yvonne Carmichael is a geneticist, a scientist renowned in her field but one day, she makes the most irrational of decisions. While she is giving evidence to a Select Committee at the Houses of Parliament, she meets a man and has sex with him in the secluded Chapel in the Crypt. It’s the beginning of a reckless liaison, but there is more to her lover than is at first apparent, as Yvonne discovers when the affair spins out of control and leads inexorably to violence.<br /><br /><i>Apple Tree Yard</i> is about a woman who makes one rash choice that ends up putting her on trial at the Old Bailey for the most serious of crimes. Like the highly acclaimed <i>Whatever You Love</i>, it is part literary investigation of personal morality, part psychological thriller.
