Jo Murray · Pan Macmillan · Paperback
A dead judge. A silent defendant. A courtroom full of liars.
Guilty or not guilty? You decide.
Barrister Leila Reynolds can hardly believe the brief she's been handed for her first murder trial: the killing of a well-known and widely respected judge. It's far too big a case for someone of her experience — but the accused, Jack Millman, has made himself very clear. He wants Leila, and nobody else.
Then she learns who will lead the prosecution: her former pupilmaster, the man who taught her everything she knows about the law. He also happens to be her husband.
Losing is not an option. Leila needs the most persuasive argument of her career, because trials aren't won by impressing judges or fellow barristers — they're won by convincing a jury. Soon she is fighting not just to keep Jack out of prison but to hold her own marriage together. And as secrets begin to surface, she has no idea how she can possibly win.
But as they say, there are two sides to every story.
