In The Interpreter, a single mother risks everything to ensure justice is served, but her actions attract dangerous attention and threaten her family.
In The Interpreter, single mother Revelle Lee navigates the intricate world of London's courtrooms, where her role as a translator is vital. Each day, she translates the words of witnesses and defendants, knowing that a single misinterpreted word could alter a person's fate. As she immerses herself in the legal proceedings, the weight of her responsibilities grows heavier, especially when she suspects that a grave injustice is about to unfold. The stakes are high, and Revelle is determined to ensure that justice prevails, even if it means bending the rules.
When Revelle decides to take matters into her own hands, she twists an alibi to protect the innocent and secure a guilty verdict. However, this act of interference comes with dire consequences. The risk of exposure looms large, threatening not only her career but also her relationship with her son. As she grapples with the moral implications of her actions, a shadowy figure emerges who seems to know her secret and is intent on seeking their own form of justice.
The Interpreter is a gripping thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. With its intricate plot and well-developed characters, it explores themes of morality, justice, and the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones. As the tension escalates, Revelle must confront her choices and the potential fallout, leading to a shocking conclusion that will leave readers breathless.
