Elliot Rook is the epitome of a highly successful, old Etonian QC. Or so everyone believes. In fact, he is an ex-petty criminal with a past that he has spent decades keeping secret. Until now.
An unidentified young woman of Middle Eastern origin has been found murdered on the outskirts of Rooks home town. Billy Barber - a violent football hooligan and white-supremacist - is accused of her murder. Barber insists that Rook must defend him. If Rook refuses, Barber will expose him, bringing crashing to the ground the life and career that Rook has spent his life building.
The truth is there for the finding. But at what cost?

Отзывы
Судебная драма
Превосходный юридический триллер со множеством неожиданных поворотов и отвлекаюших внимание ходов. Написано человеком, знающим правовую систему изнутри. Юридически граммотно и при этом захватывающе и легко читаемо. События развиваются быстро и непредсказуемо, а команда адвоката Эллиота Рука и его помощницы-новичка Зары Барнс радует юмором и некоторой бесшабашностью. Поднят ряд современных проблем - расизм, религия, сексуальная идентичность - без морализаторства и занудства. Позволяет лучше понять жизнь провинциальной Англии и жестокое влияние политических игр на жизнь простых людей (в данном случае шахтеров).
Плюсы
Отличный литературный стиль. Интересная информация помимо захватывающего сюжета.
Минусы
Первая книга в серии. Нет возможности приобрести остальные.
