The third Ben Schroeder legal thriller
1965. The British Establishment is reeling after a series of defections and acts of treachery by high-ranking Intelligence Officers. When Francis Hollander, an American academic, accuses Sir James Digby QC, a Baronet and a leader of the Bar, of being a Soviet spy, Digby retains Ben Schroeder and his head of Chambers to represent him. At first, it seems to be a simple case of libel, but as evidence starts to emerge of Digby's association with the Cambridge Spies, and as MI6 becomes involved, Ben can no longer be sure that he can save Digby from prosecution and ruin.
To obtain vital evidence, Ben will have to put his career at risk. But will it be enough?

-----------------
'An intelligent amalgam of spy story and legal drama' - Times
'A story that captures the zeitgeist of a turbulent time in British history' - Publishers Weekly
'Murphy's clever legal thriller revels in the chicanery of the English law courts of the period' - Independent
'There's tradecraft of the John le Carre kind, but also a steely authenticity in the legal scenes... gripping' - ICLR
Peter started writing fiction more than twenty years ago, but following his retirement from the bench he became a full-time author, often drawing on the many experiences of his former career. Two political thrillers about the American presidency: Removal and Test of Resolve were followed by eight legal thrillers in the Ben Schroeder series about a barrister practising in London in the 1960s and 1970s. Alongside those he also penned the light-hearted series of short story colllections featuring Judge Walden of Bermondsey in the 'Rumpole' tradition, based in part on his own experiences as a lawyer and judge, and recently published A Statue for Jacob, based on the true story of Jacob de Haven.
Peter passed away in September 2022.
