By: Robyn Delvey

Narrated by: Moira Quirk

2 bombs. 43 dead. Dozens injured. The trial of the decade has begun…

"A pacy, page-turning legal thriller. . . I’m very much looking forward to meeting Eve again in future cases."—Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

New to the job and with everything to prove, Crown Prosecution Service lawyer Eve Wren is working on the biggest UK trial in decades.

Notorious cult leader Patrick Nye and his followers, known as The Seven, are pleading not guilty to detonating a bomb in a London theatre. Patrick might be charming on the stand, but Eve knows that the evidence never lies.

The trial has already started when Eve discovers a piece of evidence that calls the whole case into question.

With the world watching, every second counts as the clock ticks down on the jury’s verdict. And Eve’s hunt for the truth pulls her into the sinister criminal underbelly and straight into the line of fire…

The first book in the thrilling Eve Wren series, perfect for fans of Steve Cavanagh and Jane Casey.

Critic reviews

“Crown Prosecutor Eve Wren finds herself in the middle of the trial of the decade in this riveting audiobook filled with well-crafted characters and dialogue. Moira Quirk is a superb choice as narrator. She skillfully develops each character, yet with deft use of inflection and vocal modulation the focus remains on Wren.… Quirk captures her trepidation with changes in tempo and tone. She conveys Wren's awareness that a mistake could mean that the seven defendants who murdered 43 people in a heinous crime could go free.”—AudioFile Magazine

“I really enjoyed this. It’s a cracking read—a pacy, page-turning legal thriller with a thoroughly engaging main character in Eve Wren and an intriguing central premise with the horrific actions of the Seven at the heart of the plot. I’m very much looking forward to meeting Eve again in future cases.”—Harriet Tyce

Ok book 😊

I listened to the whole book, but it wasn’t a “can’t stop listening” book. I wouldn’t recommend or not recommend

Too many characters

Convoluted towards the end. Too many characters. Light on character development. Good narration and good pacing
