Publisher's Summary

No one is innocent in this story....

The unmissable new stand-alone from the number one best seller of The Good Turn.

First rule: Make them like you.

Second rule: Make them need you.

Third rule: Make them pay.

They think I'm a young, idealistic law student, that I'm passionate about reforming a corrupt and brutal system.

They think I'm working hard to impress them.

They think I'm here to save an innocent man on death row. 

They're wrong. I'm going to bury him.

"Diabolically clever, highly compelling and deeply moving. I loved The Murder Rule and did not want it to end." (Don Winslow, New York Times best-selling author of The Force and The Border)

"Extraordinary. Haunting. An incredible thriller. I could not put this book down. Dervla McTiernan is a gifted writer with a very special way of telling a story. This is a heart stopping rollercoaster of a tale." (Adrian McKinty, New York Times best-selling author of The Chain)

    American legal thriller with few redeeming feature

    If I’d wanted a book about the US legal system with a highly American flavour I’d have read a Grisham. It even has his ‘in real life’ Innocence Project as its backbone.

    None of the characters engaged me and I found aspects of the story very hard to swallow; ( for example, she tries to blackmail someone, badly, and they hire her)?

    This is a very personal thing, but I’m not fond of American narration and have to really want to hear the book to buy it. That said, it was well-narrated by all three except the first, whom I found tried too hard with the ‘young and enthusiastic’ characterisation.

    This book was a pre-order. I doubt I’d have bought it had I been aware of how much it deviated from McTiernan’s style. I’m all for authors diversifying, but not into areas that are already awash with the genre.

    Disappointing.

    Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
