Post Mortem: Elliot Rook, QC: Book 2

Autor Gary Bell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 ian 2021
Once a petty criminal, now a highly respected QC, Elliot Rook has years of legal experience - and he will need every one of them if he is to see his latest client acquitted. A batch of tainted drugs has killed thirteen inmates at a London prison and a vulnerable young officer, Charli Meadows, has been charged with smuggling them into the prison. Charli insists she is innocent but as Rook begins to investigate the charges that first saw the prisoners incarcerated, a threatening note arrives at Rook's flat, warning him off the case. As Rook battles to save Charli and protect himself, his young protégé, Zara, is under pressure. Only one tenancy at the legal chambers will be available to the ever-multiplying mass of pupils, and determined that it will be hers, Zara has taken on her biggest solo case yet. But will her gamble pay off?

Caracteristici

Gary Bell QC is an author whose own story is as remarkable as the character it has inspired. His story and substantial media profile offer a unique opportunity for his second novel to build the Elliot Rook QC books as a major legal thriller series

Notă biografică

Born the son of a coal miner, Gary Bell QC left school without any qualifications and drifted in and out of a number of jobs before being convicted of fraud aged eighteen. He then spent two years penniless and homeless in Europe, before returning to his studies aged twenty-one and, after seven years, became a barrister. He has spent the last thirty years at the Bar, becoming a QC in 2012. He specialises in defending major fraud and murder trials.

Recenzii

The court scenes bristle with authenticity. Throughout, I had flashbacks to my time at the bar. And Rook is a compelling creation. Intrepid, irreverent and ingenious. I'm a follower.
It's very well done - crackles with authenticity and warmth in the relationship between Rook and Zara. Rumpole of the Bailey dusted off and brought firmly up to date for the twenty first century.
Post Mortem is brilliant in the court room and inventive

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Can Rook keep his criminal past a secret when facing the most dangerous case of his life?

Thirteen men have died in a London prison. Barrister Elliot Rook QC, who risks losing everything if his secret criminal past is revealed, must defend Charli Meadows, the vulnerable single mother accused of smuggling the deadly tainted drugs inside.

But just as Rook becomes suspicious of those closest to Charli, a note arrives at his flat - threatening violence if the trial is not called off.

While Rook battles to defend Charli and protect himself, his young protégé Zara Barnes is fighting for her livelihood. In a few short weeks, only one tenancy at the legal chambers will be available to the ever-multiplying mass of pupils. Determined to make it hers, Zara takes on her biggest solo case yet.

But will her gamble pay off?

Praise for the Elliot Rook QC series:

'Slick and wonderfully paced, I was hooked from the opening pages. One of the best legal thrillers I have read recently, it reminded me of early Grisham' - AMW Books Blog
'A brilliant read' - A. N. Wilson, Tablet
