About this listen
Bloomsbury presents Post Mortem by Gary Bell, read by Hugh Kermode.
Can Rook keep his criminal past a secret when facing the most dangerous case of his life?
Thirteen men have died in a London prison. Barrister Elliot Rook QC, who risks losing everything if his secret criminal past is revealed, must defend Charli Meadows, the vulnerable single mother accused of smuggling the deadly tainted drugs inside.
But just as Rook becomes suspicious of those closest to Charli, a note arrives at his flat – threatening violence if the trial is not called off.
While Rook battles to defend Charli and protect himself, his young protégé Zara Barnes is fighting for her livelihood. In a few short weeks, only one tenancy at the legal chambers will be available to the ever-multiplying mass of pupils. Determined to make it hers, Zara takes on her biggest solo case yet.
But will her gamble pay off?
Praise for the Elliot Rook QC series:
'[A] thriller I found hard to put down' – Observer
'Slick and wonderfully paced, I was hooked from the opening pages. One of the best legal thrillers I have read recently, it reminded me of early Grisham’ – AMW Books Blog
'A brilliant read' – A. N. Wilson, Tablet

Great story, love the characters.
Very enjoyable. Touches of humour scattered through the story are great. The characters make a great double act. Looking forward to the next installment.

A tour de force.
The unlikely duo power through two complex cases that turn out to be linked. All the characters are fully realised and move the story forward at a cracking pace. The legal details create a vivid sense of place and though the final plot twist comes as a shock you realise the information was in front of you all the time. A terrific story expertly narrated. I’m looking forward to number three in the series.

Great storyline and narration
If you enjoy Tony Parsons Max Wolfe and Simon Michaels books this is for you. Storyline has similar pace and content you could almost be reading/listening to them. Recommended

Excellent sequel - keep them coming!
Enjoyed the first one so much I used a full credit to get the second (usually a 2 for 1 sale type!). It didn’t disappoint - plot with lots of twists, excellent narration and without giving too much away, a pleasing ending for one of the characters.
