MURDER AND DECEPTION IN THE OLD BAILEY.
Meet Adam Green. Misfit. Purveyor of justice. Barrister-in-training.
When hero policeman Grant Cliveden dies from a poisoning in the Old Bailey, it threatens to shake the country to its core.
The evidence points to one man. Jimmy Knight has been convicted of multiple offences before and defending him will be no easy task. Not least because this is trainee barrister Adam Green's first case.
But it will quickly become clear that Jimmy Knight is not the only person in Cliveden's past with an axe to grind.
The only thing that's certain is that this is a trial which will push Adam - and the justice system itself - to the limit . . .

Praise for THE TRIAL:
'This is a book that takes you to the dark heart of the criminal justice system. They are all here - the good, the bad, the innocent and the guilty. I have not enjoyed a legal thriller this much since Grisham's The Firm' Tony Parsons
'The Trial is in the best tradition of John Mortimer's Rumpole series. A hugely enjoyable British courtroom drama' Steve Cavanagh
'Brilliant courtroom drama, humorous as you would expect from Rob, and one that I had to read slowly because I did not want it to end' Heidi Perks

I rarely reach the end of a book and am disappointed that it’s finished because I’ve enjoyed it so much, but this was the case with this book. Really good story and so well written and narrated. Looking forward to his next book.

Gripping read and superbly narrated. I loved this book with all the insights into barrister and not-so-pleasant criminal world. Clearly Rob Rinder has intimate knowledge of all! Written with skill and pace.
