When the Senior Clerk at her Chambers is found dead in an alley, Lee Mitchell doesn’t know who she can trust.

Junior Clerk Dean is pinned for the crime. 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 her Chambers crumble into a world of chaos and deceit, and long-buried secrets come to light, Lee must question how well she really knows those closest to her, and who would kill to keep their past hidden . . .

Compelling . . . The slow-burning Lee Mitchell legal thriller sees Nicola Williams consolidate her status as one of the more interesting British practitioners of the courtroom procedural . . . Williams knows her background intimately, be it law firm or court of justice, and this authenticity shines through and raises the book to an extra level
