About this listen

Ben Schroeder, a talented young man from an East End Jewish family, has been accepted as a pupil into the Chambers of Bernard Wesley QC. But Schroeder is an outsider, not part of this privileged society, where wealth and an Oxbridge education are essentials. He encounters prejudice, intrigue and scandal.

Kenneth Gaskell, a rising star of Wesley's Chambers has become involved in an affair with a high-profile client and the relationship, if known, could ruin his career, and the careers of all those around him. But Bernard Wesley has some information - he knows about a student prank that went terribly wrong - can he use this knowledge in a desperate gamble to save his Chambers and turn the tables on his old rival, Miles Overton QC?

Ben Schroeder has proved his ability, but he is no more than a pawn in this game. Can he survive in this world where nothing, not even justice, is sacred?

A good legal book with believable story. I really enjoyed this and consequently bought the second in the series. I wish I hadn't ,it's completely different, I don't normally have a problem with sex in books but gave up very quickly as repeated unnecessary descriptions of sexual acts, unlikeable characters and uninteresting story such that I couldn't read a page more. I couldn't leave a review for this so had to add it to this one! Apparently I hadn't read enough to review it !

Very interesting, a great read.
