A 23-year-old medical student stands trial for the murder of an IRA gunman in a case that has become a cause celebre in the USA. Justine Levy insists on conducting her own defence, alienates the jurors by asking awkward questions, and refuses to cooperate with Rick Parker, her appointed counsel. But have they all underestimated Justine—and why did she kill Sean Murphy? There are shocks and surprises in store before the bizarre truth is finally revealed.

A cracking Legal Thriller,
By
This review is from: Fool for a Client (Hardcover)
A legal thriller and courtroom drama that's up there with the best of them. This book pushes all the right buttons: a young woman accused of murdering an INLA terrorist (in America), conducting her own defence and refusing to cooperate with her young, black court-appointed co-counsel. There's sexual as well as legal tension in the air and the book keeps guessing right until the end.

This review is from: A Fool for a Client (Kindle Edition)
As a firm believer in JUSTICE (as opposed to law), I love revenge stories - as long as the revenge is targeted on the guilty. This one fits the bill quite nicely. A medical student (and a pretty, female one at that) has (maybe) killed an IRA terrorist. Or has she? Things are not always as they seem and in the trial resulting from her action she must keep all her wits about her.

A stunning courtroom climax.,
This review is from: Fool for a Client (Hardcover)
David Kessler's first book has been on my shelves for a long time. But after finishing off his non-fiction book about the Rachel Nickell case The The Wimbledon Common Murder, I decided to re-read this one to remind myself how it all started. And I was as impressed as I was the first time. This book has sharp cross-examination, surprises, behind the scenes legal shenanigans, Irish nationalist assassins and even a hint of sexual dynamics as it hurtles inexorably towards a stunning courtroom climax.
