She built her reputation on reasonable doubt. Someone built six murders on the same foundation.

When a criminal defence barrister attends the identification of a former client - the fourth such death in three years - professional distance collapses into something colder than grief. It collapses into recognition. Each victim had been acquitted. Each acquittal had been engineered through a different exploit of criminal law: double jeopardy doctrine, causation gaps in medical evidence, procedural contamination, burden of proof architecture so precisely balanced it could not be disturbed. These were not crimes of passion. They were constructed. Filed. Sequenced. Someone with a thorough understanding of the justice system, the criminal trial process, and the psychology of courtroom decision-making had turned due process itself into a lethal instrument - and every acquittal was the verdict they wanted. For readers of intelligent crime fiction, gripping legal thrillers, and courtroom drama that refuses to simplify the machinery it dramatises, this psychological thriller opens a door that cannot be closed once you step through it.
