Synopsis

1965. The British Establishment is reeling after a series of defections and acts of treachery by high-ranking Intelligence Officers. When American academic Francis Hollander accuses Sir James Digby QC, a Baronet and a leader of the Bar, of being a soviet spy, Digby hires Ben Schroeder to represent him. But when evidence starts piling up of Digby's association with the Cambridge spies, Ben can no longer be sure he will save Digby from prosecution and ruin. Is Ben willing to risk his career to obtain vital evidence?

About this title

Review:

"An intelligent amalgam of spy story and legal drama." --Marcel Berlins, Times

"Murphy's clever legal thriller revels in the chicanery of the English law courts of the period." --Independent

"There's tradecraft of the John le Carré kind, but also a steely authenticity in the legal scenes... gripping." --ICLR

"There is definitely room for improvement in the way chess is portrayed and this is what I have tried to do in my novel." --Murphy pens 2-page spread in Chess Magazine

"The narrative is thought-provoking and well written; the author highly experienced, well informed, and sufficiently skilled to transport his readers into an evolving legal situation." --The Good Book Guide

"The ability of an author to create living characters is always dependent on his knowledge of what they would do and say in any given circumstances - a talent that Peter Murphy possesses in abundance." --Crime Review
