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?

Likeable Characters in Rook and Rookie, I hope they develop throughout the series. In the meantime, the first two books in the series are certainly worth a listen if you like a legal thriller. Probably more suitable for those with British background as some I don't think all of it will travel well across the atlantic.
