"It will be interesting to watch you dealing with an impossible situation. Interesting and-I am sure, my dear boy! - instructive."
The year of the trial is 1962. The defendant claims he is Michael Godson, a blameless photographer. The prosecution insists he is really Guy Harland and has charged him with high treason. Two decades ago, it is said, Harland brutally assaulted his scientist superior and stole his top-secret notes on biological weaponry, turning them over the Nazis, who utilized them in committing a ghastly international war crime.
Intrepid Antony Maitland, now a Queen's Counsel, here has taken the reins from his famous Uncle Nick and makes the case for the defense. Antony argues it is all a matter of mistaken identity, but the evidence against his client dizzyingly mounts. Before a decision is reached Antony and his team will have to navigate their way through a deadly maze of dirty secrets, damnable lies and downright murder.
This gripping courtroom drama from 1964 features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
"Brilliant showpiece of forensic duelling and a must for the court-hungry. Her best yet." Darlington Northern Echo
