Description
When hero policeman Grant Cliveden dies from a poisoning in the Old Bailey, it threatens to shake the country to its core. The evidence points to one man. Jimmy Knight has been convicted of multiple offences before and defending him will be no easy task. Not least because this is trainee barrister Adam Green's first case. But it will quickly become clear that Jimmy Knight is not the only person in Cliveden's past with an axe to grind. The only thing that's certain is that this is a trial which will push Adam - and the justice system itself - to the limit.

The latest twist on the cosy crime genre comes in the form of this legal thriller starring trainee barrister Adam Green.
It’s interesting to read a legal story from a British perspective, after years of reading John Grisham, and I found this a refreshing, and much more relaxing, thing to read.
The mystery is a good one, there’s plenty to discover along with the characters, and a bunch that’s setting things up for sequels.
I found the end a bit rushed, but that’s not entirely unusual for me, as by that point I’m racing through because I’m hooked on the story.
