A Certain Justice

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Shocking…. Fascinating…. Sucks the reader in right from the dramatic first line.” —Los Angeles Times • Part of the bestselling mystery series that inspired Dalgliesh on Acorn TV

When distinguished criminal lawyer Venetia Aldridge defends a young man for the brutal murder of his mother, she views the case as simply another opportunity to demonstrate her brilliance in the courtroom. But within weeks of the trial Aldridge is found dead at her desk, a bloodstained barrister’s wig on her head. And as Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard attempts to make sense of events, the murders continue, inexorably spiraling into fresh complexities of horror.
