About this listen

THE FIRST LEGAL THRILLER FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING SECRET BARRISTER WRITING AS S. J. FLEET

'An astute, empathetic, and satisfyingly twisty read' - Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal and Reputation

'A diamond class legal thriller . . . I loved every moment. Five stars' - Janice Hallett, author of The Twyford Code and The Examiner
______

It is one of the biggest trials of the year. Three seventeen-year-old boys are accused of the brutal murder of an elderly teacher on New Year's Eve.

Each boy denies it.
Each points the finger at the other two.
But they can’t all be innocent.

The three defence barristers have only one job: to persuade the jury that their client is not guilty. But they’re up against a prosecutor who needs to win the case, no matter the cost.

Because when the game is murder, the competition is deadly.

Launching a brilliant new voice in crime fiction, a criminal barrister with an incomparable insider’s knowledge, The Cut Throat Trial is the most gripping thriller of the year.

Critic reviews

A clever, compelling, insightful and often witty courtroom thriller from a writer who truly understands the machinations of the criminal court and the human mind. The brilliantly-drawn characters and deft double-crossing kept me reading late into the night. Loved it. (Anna Sharpe, author of Notes on a Drowning)
Like a front row seat at a hotly contested murder trial. Fast, furious, fascinating and impeccably plotted . . . Legal thrillers don't get better than this! (Neil Lancaster, author of Dead Man's Grave)
A sharp legal thriller that grips you from the first page and puts you right inside the courtroom. S.J. Fleet's legal expertise combines with a twisting plot and a compelling cast of characters to deliver a thrilling page turner. (Gavin Bell, author of The Killing Season and the Carter Blake series)
