This was great. A legal thriller involving a fraud trial of a super rich family and a rape trial, all through the eyes of a female black barrister. The characters, the writing and the plot are all top notch. I’m sad it took a reprint under the “Black Britain: Writing Back” label to bring it to my attention (it was written in the 1990s) and also sad to see that it’s Williams’ only book. Though since the author’s a successful barrister herself I can forgive her for finding better things to do than write sequels, especially since this one has taken so long to get attention.

In the absence of more books by this author to read I’ll definitely be checking out more of the selections in the Black Britain: Writing Back series.
