Are you ready for a
roller-coaster woosh through the heights of the Legal profession, Russian
oligarchs, ordinary Londoners and murder? Then this is a story for you.
Lewis Miller is a
high achieving young apprentice lawyer in a prestigious London law firm who is
dissatisfied with his present progress. He has high aspirations...that is,
until he is sent on a simple errand by his Head of Chambers. He is to deliver a
gagging order (DNA) and cheque to a family. This does not bring about the
desired result as it stems from the death of a young climate activist Maria.
Her mother says she was murdered but the
police and everyone else believe that she committed suicide out in the
Coldharbour Marshes, a local nature reserve she is trying to protect from
development.
Lewis Miller is not
convinced either way but decides to investigate the circumstances of Maria`s
demise. As he digs deeper and uncovers more deceit, more deaths occur. What is
the simple truth of the matter?
His role is shadowed by Maria`s profligate brother`s illegitimate actions which coincide with the people under Lewis`s scrutiny.
The resulting climax follows many twists
and turns and is, frankly, shocking!
Just the sort of
book you want to be curled up with on a miserable cold day next to a
roaring fire.
We received a copy of this book to review.
