In 1985, a tragic car crash occurred in Cambridgeshire, involving the wife of an MP. Ben Schroeder QC, known for his exceptional legal skills, was called upon to defend her. However, as he delved deeper into the case, he discovered a web of political ambition and intrigue that threatened to engulf him. This captivating novel blends elements of crime fiction and legal thriller, tackling highly relevant and thought-provoking themes.

The story unfolds in the backdrop of a political landscape filled with power struggles and hidden agendas. As Ben Schroeder QC takes on the case, he becomes increasingly aware of the dangerous forces at play, which are determined to manipulate the outcome for their own gain. The stakes are high, and the consequences could be catastrophic for both the defendant and the political establishment.

Through his meticulous investigation and relentless pursuit of the truth, Ben Schroeder QC uncovers a web of lies and deceit that extends far beyond the accident itself. He must navigate through a maze of political allegiances, secret deals, and power plays, all while trying to protect his client's interests and uphold the principles of justice.

As the case unfolds, Ben Schroeder QC finds himself facing personal challenges as well. He is torn between his loyalty to his client and his commitment to the law, as he becomes increasingly aware of the political implications of the case. He must also confront his own demons and struggles with morality, as he confronts the darker side of the legal profession and the power that it wields.

The novel is a compelling exploration of the intersection of politics, law, and morality, and it raises important questions about the role of lawyers in society and the consequences of their actions. It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a thrilling legal drama, as well as for those who are interested in the complex dynamics of power and corruption.
