The Suspect





The Secret Barrister meets Janice Hallett's The Appeal. A gripping courtroom drama by barrister and broadcaster Rob Rinder following on from his no.1 Sunday Times bestselling debut The Trial.

**THE GRIPPING RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK BY THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TRIAL**

'With a pacy plot, fascinating legal insights and comic interventions, Rob Rinder’s latest legal thriller is a warm-hearted treat.' Mail on Sunday

When the UK's favourite breakfast TV presenter dies live on air in front of millions of viewers, the nation is left devastated.

More devastated still when it becomes clear that her death was not an accident.

The evidence points to one culprit: celebrity chef Sebastian Brooks. But junior barrister Adam Green is about to discover that the case is not as open-and-shut as it first seemed.

And although her angelic persona would suggest otherwise, she was not short of enemies in the glittery TV world . . .

Can Adam uncover the truth?
