Highly recommended' <b>Karin Slaughter</b></p><p>'Miller's star shines as brightly as a novelist as it does as a playwright. Prima Facie the novel gives us what novels do: the intimacy of interior life. A great read' <b>Anna Funder</b></p><p><b>From the Olivier award-winning playwright of <i>Prima Facie</i> Suzie Miller comes her first novel, where power, patriarchy and morality diverge.</b></p><p><b><i>'This is not life. This is law.'</i></b></p><p>Tessa Ensler is a brilliant barrister who's forged her career in criminal defence through sheer determination. Since her days at Cambridge, she's carefully disguised her working class roots in a male-dominated world where who you know is just as important as what you know. Driven by her belief in the right to a fair trial and a taste for victory, there's nothing Tessa loves more than the thrill of getting her clients acquitted.</p><p>It seems like Tessa has it made when she is approached for a new job and nominated for the most prestigious award in her field. But when a date with a charismatic colleague goes horribly wrong, Tessa finds that the rules she's always played by might not protect her, forcing her to question everything she's ever believed in . . .</p><p><b>AS SEEN IN ROISIN KATE KELLY, <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i>, ROUND-UP OF BEST BOOKS COMING IN 2024</b></p>
