'As thrilling as a detective novel.' The Times 'Powerful, moving
and often captivating.' Financial Times 'A compelling read for
anyone who cares about fairness, justice and humanity.' Observer
The Sunday Times bestseller ___ Sarah Langford is a barrister. Her
job is to stand in court representing the mad and the bad, the
vulnerable, the heartbroken and the hopeful. She must become their
voice. Sarah weaves their story around the black and white of the
law and tell it to the courtroom. These stories may not make
headlines but they will change the lives of ordinary people in
extraordinary ways. They are stories which, but for a twist of
luck, might have been yours. With remarkable candour, Sarah
describes eleven cases which reveal what goes on in our criminal
and family courts: these are tales of domestic fall out, everyday
burglary, sexual indiscretion, and children caught up in the law.
They are sometimes shocking and they are often heart-stopping. She
examines how she feels as she defends the person standing in the
dock. She also shows us how our attitudes and actions can shape not
only the outcome of a case, but the legal system itself. ___ What
readers are saying: ***** 'Absolutely fascinating . . . thought
provoking, powerful and a compelling read.' ***** 'This book broke
my heart at times but also contained humour and such poignant
insights into the criminal justice system.' ***** 'Sarah writes
incredibly well - she's informative while maintaining suspense and
tension, and conveys so much emotion in her writing
