A schoolboy named John is accused of a brutal murder, and a retired lawyer named Judith is hired to defend him. The case is a tense thriller, with the Times describing it as "first-rate" and the Daily Mail calling it "unexpected." The unexpected twist in the story is a jaw-dropper, according to Saga Magazine. John's lawyers, Judith and Constance, begin a desperate pursuit of the truth, uncovering uncomfortable secrets about the teacher and the school. However, Judith has her own secrets that she risks exposing when it is announced that a new lie-detecting device, nicknamed Pinocchio, will be used during the trial. The question arises as to whether the accused, a troubled boy who loves challenges, is trying to help them or not. The Pinocchio Brief is a gripping, very human thriller that confronts our assumptions about truth and reliance on technology.
