2 bombs. 43 dead. Dozens injured. The trial of the decade has begun…

"A pacy, page-turning legal thriller. I’m very much looking forward to meeting Eve again in future cases."—Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

New to the job and with everything to prove, Crown Prosecution Service lawyer Eve Wren is working on the biggest UK trial in decades.

Notorious cult leader Patrick Nye and his followers, known as The Seven, are pleading not guilty to detonating a bomb in a London theatre. Patrick might be charming on the stand, but Eve knows that the evidence never lies.

The trial has already started when Eve discovers a piece of evidence that calls the whole case into question.

With the world watching, every second counts as the clock ticks down on the jury’s verdict. And Eve’s hunt for the truth pulls her into the sinister criminal underbelly and straight into the line of fire…

The first book in the thrilling Eve Wren series, perfect for fans of Steve Cavanagh and Jane Casey.
