About this ebook
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 Head Clerk at her Chambers is murdered, Lee Mitchell doesn’t know who she can trust.
One of the last people to see him alive, the crime is pinned on Junior Clerk Dean who ‘seems like the type’. 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 the trial progresses, people Lee has worked with for years become suspects as her Chambers crumble into a world of chaos and deceit.
And, what of the diary, whispered about by those at Chambers? The one Tom used to blackmail Lee’s friends and enemies alike to do his bidding? The one containing secrets some might kill to keep hidden?
Maybe finding it will be the key to solving his murder. Or maybe some secrets are better left buried . . .
