THE FIRST LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING SECRET BARRISTER

‘An astute, empathetic, and satisfyingly twisty read’ - Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal and Reputation

‘A diamond class legal thriller . . . I loved every moment’ - Janice Hallett, author of The Twyford Code and The Examiner

It is one of the biggest trials of the year. Three seventeen-year-old boys are accused of the brutal murder of an elderly teacher on New Year’s Eve.

Each boy denies it. Each points the finger at the other two. But they can’t all be innocent.

The three defence barristers have only one job: to persuade the jury that their client is not guilty. But they’re up against a prosecutor who needs to win the case, no matter the cost.

Written with an expert insider’s knowledge, a dramatic courtroom drama unfolds.

And you have a front row seat.

Fake Law: The Truth About Justice in an Age of Lies and Nothing But The Truth: The Memoir of an Unlikely Lawyer were instant Sunday Times top ten bestsellers on publication.
