The first book in a brilliant new series, set to become a major television drama.
He'd said he was innocent. She'd believed him.
Sixteen years after Tess de Vere saw William Benson led from the dock to begin a life sentence for murder, she joins his team - new to the Bar, he's defending a desperate woman accused of slaying her wealthy husband. But as the hopeless trial twists and turns in the courtroom, Tess embarks upon a secret investigation of her own, determined to uncover the truth behind the case that nearly destroyed Benson's life.
True to life, fast-paced and absolutely compelling, Summary Justice introduces a new courtroom drama series featuring two maverick lawyers driven to fight injustice at any cost.
[Summary Justice] works superbly as a classic courtroom drama, in which nothing is as it seems - even though it really does seem it. Yet what makes the book particularly impressive is that there's far more to it than just brilliant plotting. It also has genuine heart, plenty of interesting things to say about the law and a highly appealing troubled hero. With "a major television drama series" already in the offing, I suspect we'll hear a lot more of William Benson in
the years to come
