The Cut Throat Trial

THE FIRST LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING SECRET BARRISTER WRITING AS S. J. FLEET

'The Zorro of the criminal bar' - The Times

It is one of the biggest trials of the year. Three seventeen-year-old boys are accused of the brutal murder of an elderly teacher on New Year's Eve.

Each boy denies it. Each points the finger at the other two. But they can't all be innocent.

The three defence barristers have only one job: to persuade the jury that their client is not guilty. But they're up against a prosecutor who needs to win the case, no matter the cost.

Because when the game is murder, the competition is deadly.

Launching a brilliant new voice in crime fiction, a criminal barrister with an incomparable insider's knowledge, The Cut Throat Trial is the most gripping thriller of the year.
