'How can you defend someone you know is guilty?'

A murderer? A sex abuser? Some who kidnaps vulnerable children and leads them to their deaths?

This is the new bestselling legal thriller from Janet Bettle. Sexy, witty and exciting, it goes right to the heart with a cast of unforgettable characters and action which races across the streets of London and Oxford.

Marc Dufour is the man who should have everything. He's good looking - dangerously so - rich, and clever. Women can't help falling into his bed. Juries are bewitched by him. They trust him, they like him - and they acquit his clients.

But Marc's life is starting to crumble. He's drinking too much, for starters. And he's fallen in love, again. With the last person in the world he should be getting involved with.

And he has just taken on the most important case of his career. The Big One.
An international celebrity, accused of running a sex trafficking empire. Win it, get the acquittal, and he'll be set up for life.

Only the client is guilty. Guilty as hell and happy to kill anyone who finds that out. He's already murdered his previous barrister. Ask too many of the wrong questions and Marc will be next on the list.

He has to win this case. There is no other option. A vulnerable young girl is the key witness and Marc has to destroy her. That's the brief and that's what he's being paid 50,000 to do.

The only problem is that he knows every word she is saying is true. And if Marc wins - if he destroys her in the witness box - she will be sent to her death. A man guilty of appalling crimes will go free and an innocent young girl will die a terrible death.

Right there, after a stunning courtroom scene in the Old Bailey, Marc takes a choice. It will almost certainly ruin his career. And it will probably kill him. Before long, he's on the run, desperate to find the piece of evidence that will nail his own client. Before it's too late. The men that are after him are remorseless.

This scintillating and recommended page turner is a welcome and hugely recommended third legal thriller from Janet Bettle, herself a barrister. Marc Dufour is a wonderful new character cynical, savagely funny and with scant respect for anyone. He meets his match in Malaika, a naive young girl who has been trafficked into the country and the resulting showdown in the streets and colleges of Oxford just can't be put down.

This is a modern thriller with full on action and a fast pace - but with a poignancy as Marc starts to realise he can care about someone other than himself. It is a bestselling must read - recommended for a great story, some unforgettable characters and a backdrop of famous locations in London and Oxford.
