Reseña del libro "The Ancient Craft (en Inglés)"
An intriguing courtroom drama – murder, poison, drugs and conspiracy. Matthew Jameson, a young suburban lawyer, is engaged by a beautiful socialite, Jessica Vandermeer, to defend her on a charge of murdering her high society plastic surgeon husband. The police claim that he was poisoned, but then admit that no poison was discovered at autopsy. Jameson is confused by his selection, and also that of the barrister, Oscar O’Shannessy, who in his mid-seventies is well past a modest career high. Jessica seems to continually lie to Jameson and is evasive on important issues. Is her ultimate goal to be convicted of murder? To complicate matters, Jameson’s close friend, Detective Angelo Cattani, is charged with drug supply, and has clearly been set up by a drug cartel that is desperate to avoid lengthy prison sentences for its members. The prosecution case in each trial is overwhelming, and Jameson faces not only being struck off for professional misconduct, but being charged with criminal conspiracy. Jameson and O’Shannessy are the only legal team that Cattani will trust, but are they up to the task? Can Jameson navigate the abyss that threatens to swallow up his professional and personal lives?
