Publisher Comments

Terry Flynt is a struggling legal clerk, desperately trying to get promoted. And then he is given the biggest opportunity of his career: to help defend a millionaire accused of murdering a woman in his hotel suite. The only problem is that the accused man, Vernon James, turns out to be not only someone he knows, but someone he loathes. This case could potentially make Terry's career, but how can he defend a former friend who betrayed him so badly? With the trial date looming, Terry delves deeper into Vernon's life and is forced to confront secrets from their shared past that could have devastating consequences for them both. For years he has wanted to witness Vernon's downfall, but with so much at stake, how can Terry be sure that he is guilty? And what choices must he make to ensure that justice is done?

Review

"A terrific legal thriller in which long-buried secrets acquire the force of deadly weapons. The writing is vivid and energetic, and Stone has John Grisham's flair in the court scenes." The Guardian

Review

"Nick Stone has been described as the London John Grisham.

Review

"It's a relief to have English courtroom scenes described by an author who knows better than to scatter the dialogue with cries of 'objection' and the sound of a gavel, and a pleasure to read someone who so understands legal practice. A very enjoyable legal thriller." Literary Review

Review

"Now and then there's a book worth really shouting about. So listen up, this is the best legal thriller in years." Peterborough Evening Telegraph

Review

"Terrific stuff. An unrelenting narrative grip right up to its courtroom climax." The Daily Express

Review

"This fast-paced legal thriller by the award-winning author of is destined to grab the attention of American readers for its complexity of plot, its depth of character development, and for the nitty-gritty portrayal of ­London's seamier side. Fans of the BBC's numerous popular crime series can now curl up with similar sophisticated fare in book form." Library Journal (starred)

Synopsis
