'A good police force is one that catches more crooks than it employs' - Sir Robert Mark

'A good police force is one that catches more crooks than it employs' - Sir Robert Mark


A clever, accomplished Cambridge graduate with a good job and an attentive lover, Imogen Lester seems to have the world at her feet. But when her parents are murdered abroad while working for the Diplomatic Service, she is suddenly thrown headlong into a murky world of espionage and organised crime.


When she is charged with drug trafficking, even Ben Schroeder's skills may not be enough to save her - unless a shadowy figure from Ben's past can survive long enough to unmask a web of graft and corruption...

Peter Murphy has created in barrister Ben Schroeder a character whose adventures in and out of court hold a mirror up to life at the bar in the 1960s and 70s -- Paul Magrath * ICLR *
a rich, complex tale of organized crime and corruption, peopled by characters I wanted to cheer or boo -- Lizzie * promotingcrime.blogspot.com *
