'Impressive and unique. As relevant today as it was over two decades go' Bernardine Evaristo, from the Introduction A gripping, propulsive courtroom thriller following barrister Lee Mitchell as she uncovers the dark secrets of London's obscenely rich Lee Mitchell is a thirty-year-old barrister from a working-class Caribbean background: in the cut-throat environment of the courtroom, everything is stacked against her. After she takes on the high-profile case of notorious millionaire playboy Clive Omartian - arrested along with his father and stepbrother for eye-wateringly exorbitant fraud - the line between her personal and professional life becomes dangerously blurred. Spiralling further into Clive's trail of debauchery and corruption, she finds herself in alarmingly deep waters. Can she survive her case, let alone win it? Selected by Booker Prize-winning author Bernardine Evaristo, this series rediscovers and celebrates pioneering books depicting black Britain that remap the nation.

2nd bk from a series curated by bernadine evaristo of modern black Br writers. This was a compelling legal thriller set in the 90s abt a talented black female criminal barrister from a working class background. When a lucrative corporate fraud bruef is given to her, she is subject to prejudice from members of the bar but of more concern an affluent client who seems too good to be true. A page turner. Will look for more from the author + the series

This is great - a crime novel from the perspective of a Black working-class barrister.

Reading_Beyond_The_Book_Cover Ooh I‘m adding this for a future #Blackoweenathon TBR. Thanks for sharing! ☺️ 13mo
charl08 @Reading_Beyond_The_Book_Cover I'd love to know what you think. I only came across it because it's part of Bernadine Evaristo's series of republished Black British authors who she felt had unjustly gone out of print. 13mo
