Sinossi
Westminster, Londra. James Whitehouse è un uomo di potere, un maschio attraente, un padre devoto. Ed è accusato di violenza sessuale da una donna con cui ha ammesso di aver avuto una relazione. La moglie Sophie è convinta della sua innocenza, ma le sue certezze, o forse le sue speranze, si scontrano con la tenacia di Kate, l'avvocata dell'accusa, determinata a colmare il divario tra giustizia e privilegio. La verità, come spesso accade, è complessa: affonda le radici in un passato lontano, tra i palazzi d'ardesia dell'università di Oxford, dove James e Sophie si sono conosciuti. E può far saltare in aria un matrimonio, un partito, un intero sistema di valori. Thriller psicologico, ritratto di famiglia e insieme giallo giudiziario, «Anatomia di uno scandalo» affronta uno dei grandi nodi del nostro presente.
