Standing bravely in court, Janine pleads guilty to all charges.Why did Janine betray, not just her country, but her own husband?

Reginald Hill was brought up in Cumbria, and has returned there after many years in Yorkshire. With his first crime novel, A Clubbable Woman, he was hailed as ‘the crime novel’s best hope’ and twenty years on he has more than fulfilled that prophecy.
