Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The gripping new courtroom thriller following barrister Lee Mitchell in her most controversial case yet

Lee Mitchell is a young barrister from a working-class Caribbean background: in the cut-throat environment of the courtroom, everything is stacked against her.

On her doorstep in South London the 15-year-old son of the pastor at the local Black church is shot, and the local community is shattered. All evidence is pointing to infamously corrupt, racist police officer Sergeant Jack Lambert as the irredeemable suspect. His own boss - rebel-turned-copper Danny Wallace - is certain he is guilty.

Against her will, Lee is strong-armed into defending him. With cries of 'Black Lives Matter!' echoing in the streets, Lee is at the centre of the turmoil as lies, anger, and mistrust spiral out of control.
With the line between her personal and professional life becoming increasingly blurred, Lee keeps asking herself the same question: How can she defend the indefensible?

Until Proven Innocent is a legal thriller with heart and soul An authentic thought-provoking new voice in crime fiction Until Proven Innocent is nothing short of an astounding, brilliantly engaging book! Nicola has created one of the most daringly complex, intellectually and emotionally evocative crime stories I've read in quite some time A brilliantly taut, gritty and authentic page turner that takes you on a thrilling road from the streets of London to the courtroom A great twisty, gritty investigation with wonderful characters culminating in an explosive courtroom drama! A brilliant and tense drama about legal justice that propels us well beyond the courtroom and right into the heart of a troubled community and its people Compelling, smart, staggeringly relevant . . . Williams' insightful novel is pitch perfect. Outstanding Penning a blend of legal and psychological thriller would be enough for most authors, but Williams, a barrister, deftly adds a layer of social realism. Her book teems with memorable characters from the law and the black community Williams has used her experience as a Crown Court judge to craft a twisting legal thriller of real moral complexity The gripping new courtroom thriller will hook you in Expand reviews
