Synopsis

WINNER OF THE DIVERSE BOOK AWARDS READERS CHOICE AWARD 2024

‘Oozes authenticity, honesty and grit’ Daily Mail

THE BRILLIANTLY TAUT AND TWISTY NEW LEGAL THRILLER FOLLOWING BARRISTER LEE MITCHELL IN HER MOST CONTROVERSIAL CASE YET

When the teenage son of a south London pastor is shot at point-blank range, shockwaves echo through the close-knit community.

For barrister Lee Mitchell, born and raised in Peckham, the murder hits close to home. And it comes closer still when she is strong-armed into defending the prime suspect: racist police sergeant Jack Lambert.

In the cut-throat world of the courtroom, where everyone has an agenda and no one is what they seem, Lee will have to choose between fighting the system and fighting for her career . . .

‘A dazzling new voice’ Tony Parsons

‘A legal thriller with heart and soul’ Erin Kelly
