Description
'A daring concept executed to perfection a hypnotic and authentic voice and questions for us to answer as readers and people' LEE CHILD An unnamed defendant stands accused of murder. Just before the Closing Speeches the young man sacks his lawyer and decides to give his own defence speech. He tells us that his barrister told him to leave some things out. Sometimes the truth can be too difficult to explain or believe. But he thinks that if he's going to go down for life he might as well go down telling the truth. There are eight pieces of evidence against him. As he talks us through them one by one his life is in our hands. We the reader - member of the jury - must keep an open mind till we hear the end of his story. His defence raises many questions... but at the end of the speeches only one matters: Did he do it?
