Presumption of guilt
(Book)

Beth Wright, a newspaper reporter, is hot on the trail of a story that could expose something very ugly at the St. Clair Children's Home. Someone else is on Beth Wright's trail, hoping to make sure her story never sees the press. Between them stands Nick Hutchins, a social worker who finds his own gut hunches about the children's home increasingly confirmed, first by Beth's investigation, then by a high speed attempt on her life, and finally by an intruder's startling confession.
