ONE MURDER. ONE IMPOSSIBLE CASE. WHO IS GUILTY?

When hero policeman Grant Cliveden dies from a poisoning in the Old Bailey, it threatens to shake the country to its core.

The only thing that’s certain is that this is a trial which will push Adam – and the justice system itself – to the limit. . .
