Description

Killer Instinct is the gripping, twisty new legal thriller starring underdog barrister Lee Mitchell in a case that strikes at the heart of her chambers.

When the Senior Clerk at her Chambers is found dead in an alley, Lee Mitchell doesn't know who she can trust. Junior Clerk Dean is pinned for the crime.

But Lee knows how easily prejudices can snowball into convictions - and steps in to defend him.

As her Chambers crumble into a world of chaos and deceit, and long-buried secrets come to light, Lee must question how well she really knows those closest to her, and who would kill to keep their past hidden...
