About The Book
A KILLER IN THE COURTS
When High Court judge William Ryland is found dead inside the Royal Courts of Justice, it seems like a tragic accident.
But young, high-flying lawyer Tom Hawk suspects there’s more to his death than meets the eye. When he takes over Ryland’s final case – a battle between two Russian billionaires – he’s thrust into a murky world of deception, where nothing is quite as it seems…
AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY
Inside the courts, the body count begins to rise. And as evidence disappears, Hawk finds himself wrapped up in a much darker game: one that goes to the very heart of the justice system.
A MAN WHO BREAKS THE RULES
When tensions arise between Hawk and the beautiful but uncompromising Detective Inspector Kate Black, he realises that he’ll have to take the law into his own hands – but at what cost?
Murder and intrigue combine in this fast-paced adventure, set against the iconic landscape of legal London.
