I listened to the audiobook version of this book, and while it did take me a bit longer than usual to finish, I did enjoy it. A law clerk in London with an untraditional and somewhat troubled past finds himself placed on a high-profile murder case defending the man who over 20 years ago was his best friend as well as tied to the reason his life went a bit off the rails.
Told from Terry Flint's perspective, the story follows the accused, Vernon James, through the investigation and trial of a murdered woman following James's receipt of the "Ethics Person of the Year" award. Throughout, we meet many characters involved in the case all working to find the truth.
Though a bit long at times, with scenes that in hindsight probably weren't necessary, it did have a an intriguing and exciting pace. The ending may have been somewhat lackluster, but still good all the same.
