Synopsis
The propulsive new thriller from the million-copy bestselling Secret Barrister
It's not about justice.
It's about staying alive.
Alyx is a bright young criminal barrister waiting for the big case that will propel her career to the next level. One afternoon, her clerk calls with a dream offer: there’s a gangland murder trial in need of a prosecution junior, and it has Alyx’s name on it.
The only drawback is that Alyx is not the first person to be asked to prosecute this case. The previous prosecution junior has disappeared.
When the King’s Counsel leading the prosecution is involved in a terrible accident, and as Alyx is haunted by the demons of a life she thought she had left behind, she begins to realise that the real challenge in this case isn’t going to be winning the trial. It’s going to be staying alive.
