    About this ebook

    Gethin Grey is the man you call when there's nowhere else to turn. His Last Resort Legals team investigates miscarriages of justice. But Gethin is running out of options himself: his gambling is out of control, his marriage is falling apart and there's no money left to pay the wages...Izma M was sent down years ago for the brutal murder of a young woman. In jail he's written a bestseller and become a cult hero, and now the charismatic fading-film-star Amelia Laverne wants to bankroll Gethin to prove Izma's innocence.For Gethin low on luck and cash the job is heaven sent. But is Izma M really as blameless as his fans believe?This seemingly cold case is about to turn very hot indeed...

    John Lincoln

    John Lincoln is the transparent pseudonym of John Williams, the novelist, biographer and crime fiction reviewer for the Mail on Sunday. His first book Into The Badlands explores 'a vital mix of literary criticism, personality profile, and imaginary geography' (New Statesman and Society) and has become a crime fiction classic. His true crime account of a notorious miscarriage of justice, Bloody Valentine, is a cult classic, described by Benjamin Zephaniah as his favourite book. Since then he's written eight more books including the Cardiff Trilogy of novels and biographies of Michael X, Shirely Bassey and Eartha Kitt.

    • 3/5
      I enjoyed this novel about a firm specializing in investigating miscarriages of justice. Gethin, the main protagonist, and his staff were quirky, endearing characters, and the first half developed the question of whether or not their client Izma had actually murdered Hannah Gold. They traced witnesses and visited the strangely uncooperative Izma in prison. Gethin and his wife had marital problems (the novel read a bit as if we ought to be aware of what had been going on in Gethin's life for the last few years), and there were chapters set in the past from the perspective of a teenager called Danny. Then it all went a bit berserk, and while the plot did make sense, the novel turned into more of an adventure with endless chase scenes and multiple shootings etc. I would probably read a other in this series, but I do prefer the detective elements to bike chases.
