A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB PICK

'A first-rate courtroom drama'—Daily Mail

SHORTLISTED: Waverton Good Read Award

A 15-year-old schoolboy is accused of the brutal murder of one of his teachers.

His lawyers—the guarded veteran, Judith, and the energetic young solicitor, Constance—begin a desperate pursuit of the truth, revealing uncomfortable secrets about the teacher and the school.

But Judith has her own secrets which she risks exposing when it is announced that a new lie-detecting device, nicknamed Pinocchio, will be used during the trial. And is the accused, a troubled boy who loves challenges, trying to help them or not?

The Pinocchio Brief is a gripping courtroom thriller which confronts our assumptions about truth and our increasing reliance on technology.
