Until Proven Innocent
Until Proven Innocent
The brilliantly taut, gritty and twisty new legal thriller following barrister Lee Mitchell in her most controversial case yet.
Lee Mitchell is out for justice.
A young barrister from a working-class Caribbean background, everything is stacked against her in the cut-throat environment of the courtroom.
When the fifteen-year-old son of the pastor at the local Black church is shot near her home in South London, the community is shattered. All evidence is pointing to the notoriously corrupt, racist officer Sergeant Jack Lambert. Even his own boss is certain he is guiltyβyet he swears his innocence.
Against her will, Lee is strong-armed into defending him. With protests echoing in the streets, Lee is at the centre of the turmoil as lies, anger and mistrust spiral out of control. With the line between her personal and professional life blurring, Lee keeps asking herself the same questionβ
How can she defend the indefensible?
