A lawyer gets uncomfortably close to a former client, crossing a dangerous line, in this edgy debut thriller.

Daniel, a criminal barrister, is working all hours on a sensational trial at the Old Bailey, defending a client he believes is wrongfully accused of a grisly murder. Determined to keep Rod out of prison, he begins to neglect his wife-and soon afterwards suspects she's having an affair.

After Daniel triumphs in court, the bond he's formed with his newly acquitted client grows even stronger. Then Rod offers Daniel a favour that he really shouldn't accept . . .

When things take a catastrophic turn, Daniel realises his conduct has veered from unprofessional to indefensible-and that he's trapped in a nightmare of his own making. .
