  <abstract>"Witness for the Defence" by A. E. W. Mason is a mystery and adventure novel published in 1913. When barrister Henry Thresk encounters a photograph of Stella Derrick, a woman he once knew, he travels to India to find her trapped in an abusive marriage. After her husband is found shot dead, Stella faces murder charges. Thresk gives perjured testimony to save her, but his false witness sets in motion consequences that will haunt them both as buried truths threaten to surface.
