A new Burton and Lamb legal thriller
A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB PICK
‘An intense and compelling legal drama – quite wonderful’ Geoffrey Wansell
When an elderly artist plunges one hundred feet to her death at a London hospital, the police sense foul play.
The hospital cleaner, a Syrian refugee, is arrested for her murder. He protests his innocence, but why has he given the woman the story of Aladdin to read, and why does he shake uncontrollably in times of stress?
Judith Burton and Constance Lamb reunite to defend a man the media has already convicted. In a spellbinding courtroom confrontation in which they once more grapple with all-too-possible developments in artificial intelligence, they uncover not only the cleaner’s secrets, but also those of the artist’s family, her lawyer and the hospital.
A new Burton and Lamb legal thriller with an AI twist from the author of the acclaimed The Pinocchio Brief .
