Synopsis
Full of twists you won't see coming, The Cut Throat Trial is an edge-of-your-seat courtroom drama from the No. 1 bestselling Secret Barrister. And you have a front row seat.
‘An astute, empathetic, and satisfyingly twisty read’ - Sarah Vaughan
'Excellent . . . brilliantly executed. Closest I've felt to being in court since I left the bar' - Harriet Tyce
‘A diamond class legal thriller . . . I loved every moment’ - Janice Hallett
It is one of the biggest trials of the year. Three seventeen-year-old boys are accused of the brutal murder of an elderly teacher on New Year’s Eve. Each boy denies it. Each points the finger at the other two. But they can’t all be innocent.
The three defence barristers have only one job: to persuade the jury that their client is not guilty. But they’re up against a prosecutor who needs to win the case, no matter the cost.
Written by a criminal barrister with an expert insider’s knowledge, The Cut Throat Trial is an unputdownable legal thriller.

The author's legal expertise combines with a twisting plot and a compelling cast of characters to deliver a thrilling page turner.”Mason Cross, author of The Killing Season and the Carter Blake series
“Weaves a really compelling plot-driven story with great characterisation. Pacy. Intriguing. Thrilling. ”Imran Mahmood, author of Finding Sophie and You Don't Know Me
“Like a front row seat at a hotly contested murder trial. Fast, furious, fascinating and impeccably plotted . . . Legal thrillers don't get better than this!”Neil Lancaster, author of Dead Man's Grave
“Not so much a front row seat in a murder trial as a journey inside the minds of the necessarily unreliable defendants, judge and counsel, The Cut Throat Trial is both scathing examination of the criminal justice system and an astute, empathetic, and satisfyingly twisty read. . . I’ll be thinking about this one for quite some time.”Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal and Reputation
