Allegation / R. G. Adams.

South Wales, 2015. Two women have come forward to make historical sexual allegations against a pillar of the local community, Matthew Cooper. And child safeguarding protocol demands that Social Services remove the accused from his home and his family, while a formal assessment is carried out. The Cooper case lands on the desk of inexperienced Social Worker, Kit Goddard. Although intrepid and intuitive, she is ill-prepared for such a high profile case. Kit finds herself navigating a local minefield of connections and class, reputations and rumour. Unsure whether her interference is a heroic intervention or a hurtful intrusion, she knows one thing it will have an impact. The question is whether this impact will be to expose an iniquitous lie, or destroy an innocent life.
