The Defence, Rob Rinder - Pre-order for publication 18th June

At MP-turned-wellness-guru Adrian Wells’s glitzy launch event for a bath salt that promises to reverse ageing, someone is about to turn up the heat. .

And now Adrian is dead. His long-suffering assistant Jules is the prime suspect. Barrister Adam Green is tasked with Jules’s defence, and he quickly realises that there were many more people with a score to settle against Adrian.

Can Adam win the day, or is he in too deep?
