On an ordinary Friday afternoon, a gunman gains entry to Whites Chambers. His job is to find a particular barrister. But which one? For a few people, his arrival isn’t as much of a shock as it is to others.
 
The barristers work hard defending and prosecuting the unfortunate beings who find themselves at the mercy of the English criminal legal system. But when professional lines between them and Manchester’s organised crime group are crossed, it can only lead to trouble.
 
Samantha has no idea that her husband, Alistair, is working for the gang. He wants to stop. But once you’re in, you’re in, they tell him. There’s no way out.
 
Sebastian used to love being a barrister, but then receives two death threats in one day, which is as much as anyone can take.
 
Jamilla is struggling to keep her relationship on track. Robert's drinking and gambling habits are ruining them both. One bad decision leads to another. Then another. How can Jamilla help him when he can no longer repay his debt to the gang?
 
She doesn't know about the death threats that her father, Sebastian, has received. She has enough on her plate right now. When Samantha mysteriously disappears, she doesn't believe that she has taken time-out to visit a spa. She suspects that Alistair knows more than he is saying, and she is determined to find out about the menacing-looking man who keeps appearing at Alistair's side.
 
This is the first book in the Whites Chambers series.
