The definitive British Legal Thriller.
Terry Flynt is a struggling legal clerk, desperately trying to get promoted. And then he is given the biggest opportunity of his career: to help defend a millionaire accused of murdering a woman in his hotel suite.
The only problem is that the accused man, Vernon James, turns out to be Terry's sworn enemy - a man who betrayed him and turned all his friends against him at university. This case could potentially make Terry's career, but how can he defend a man that he loathes?
Packed with twists, turns and an unforgettable trial scene, The Verdict is the most page-turning British legal thriller in many years.
Available as: Hardcover, Paperback, eBook
ISBN13: 978-1847443267
A terrific legal thriller ... The writing is vivid and energetic and Stone has John Grisham's flair in the court scenes.
John O'Connell, The Guardian
