THE GRIPPING, TWISTY NEW LEGAL THRILLER STARRING UNDERDOG BARRISTER LEE MITCHELL IN A CASE THAT STRIKES AT THE HEART OF HER CHAMBERS

‘British crime fiction has a dazzling new voice in Nicola Williams’ Tony Parsons

When the Senior Clerk at her Chambers is found dead in an alley, Lee Mitchell doesn’t know who she can trust.

Junior Clerk Dean is pinned for the crime. Working-class and still living on the estate where he grew up, he has the most to gain from Tom’s death.

But Lee knows how easily prejudices can snowball into convictions – and steps in to defend him.

As her Chambers crumble into a world of chaos and deceit, and long-buried secrets come to light, Lee must question how well she really knows those closest to her, and who would kill to keep their past hidden . . .

‘An authentic thought-provoking new voice in crime fiction’ Kate Ellis

Nicola Williams started her career as a barrister in private practice, specializing in criminal law. She was a member of the first Independent Advisory Group to the Metropolitan Police Service and has been a part-time Crown Court judge since 2010. She is the author of three legal thrillers.
