Publisher's Summary
Andrew Deacon is young, fit, and single, a junior prosecutor at the WA DPP with a bright future and a sense of entitlement to match.
That future starts to look darker when he spends the night with an attractive stranger, Lily Constantine, and she is found murdered in her apartment the following day. Based on a conversation with Lil, Andrew believes he knows who killed her –a senior criminal law barrister, Sam Godfrey SC, who is also Lil's brother-in-law.
Andrew tells the police everything he knows, but his quest to bring Godfrey to justice provokes retaliation and soon Andrew is on the run, with no way forward but to prove Godfrey's guilt. This is a pacey, darkly comic whodunnit with a twist – Andrew knows who did it but the clock is ticking and he has to prove it before he gets himself taken out.
Critic Reviews
"A superb debut written with personality and pace, from an arresting new voice in Australian crime." (Craig Sisterson, author of Southern Cross Crime)
"Lawyer-turned-writer Lisa Ellery uses her knowledge and experience in the legal sector to round out detailed judicial proceedings in her debut thriller, building a believable foundation for the tense drama that unfolds." (Books+Publishing)
"Author Lisa Ellery uses her lived experience as a lawyer to weave a story through the eyes of her protagonist Andrew Deacon, taking the reader on an interesting journey into the world of law and order with a distinctly West Australian flavour." (Writing WA)

This is a story that you can’t stop read/listen
Story are well written and couldn’t stop follow from the beginning to the end.
What I enjoyed the most was I can picture individual character as real person. Each of them has their own stories and interactions are well written through Andrew’s view.
I felt like I was dragged into the parallel world where this murder actually occurred even this is fiction.
Thanks Lisa to publish this excellent book and I can’t wait to see her next book.
