Brad Norton is a criminal barrister getting on with life. He has applied for silk in his profession but there are obstacles in his way, namely a judge that doesn't like his style but he doesn't let this stop him from getting on with his job. He represents the son of another judge in a case of GBH and the wife of a man who it turns out has been murdered.

He is dedicated to getting justice even when the wife is no longer able to pay. He believes in her innocence and pushes on with the case with the help of his partner.

A very enjoyable read that just gets on with it and nothing seems over the top. It's the realism of it all that I enjoy the most.
