Description
Junior barrister Jack Kowalski is crushed. His client Timothy Smart appears to have committed a monstrous crime while on bail – a bail application Jack fought hard to win.
When a high-profile Polish footballer is charged with rape and demands a fellow countryman represent him, Jack must overcome his guilt and get back to work. Before long he takes on a second case, a GBH for instructing solicitor Lara Panassai, who Jack remains desperate to impress. But neither case is what it seems, and Jack will face an extraordinary uphill battle to see that justice is done…
The second Jack Kowalski novel, Unconvicted is a gripping courtroom drama written with the expert insight of a practicing criminal barrister, perfect for fans of William L. Myers, Deborah Hawkins, and Scott Turow.

Excellent read set in the courts of Manchester and following the cases that get sent to Jack a barrister with a conscience and crush on his instructing solicitor. Great courtroom scenes. No 2 in the series, I can’t help feeling I’m missing something in the sub plot so I’m off to buy the first one now and looking forward to the third instalment
Greville W, Reviewer
I loved his last book, "Cut Throat Defence" and this is even better. A fantastic combination of a young Polish barrister, Jack Kowalski struggling to gain acceptance within the closed legal community and his charming young instructing solicitor, Lara, who he can't quite commit to tell about his growing feelings for her.
They are two sympathetic and credible characters whom you root for and they form a winning partnership in court and hopefully one day (probably in about book 7!) outside too!
Jack faces three seemingly unwindable cases as well as the sneering patronising comments of the more established legal fraternity but through a combination of wit, good luck, persistence and a deeply analytical mind he comes through triumphant.
I cannot recommend this book too highly.
