The Escape Artist
Will Burton
is a junior criminal defense lawyer who specializes in getting people out of
tight legal corners... hence, his nickname of “The Escape Artist”. Will is in
demand and has never lost a case. With a loving young family and a promotion to
Queen‘s Counsel in his sights, everything is on the up.
Will‘s next case sees him defending Liam Foyle who has been
charged with the horrific murder of a young woman. Despite the overwhelming
evidence against Foyle, Will cannot help but be brilliant and gets him off on a
technicality.
For the first time in his career, Will questions the
morality of what he does and fails to shake Foyle’s hand at the end of the
trial.
Suspected killer Foyle is released but shunned by Will, his
attention is now
focussed in Will‘s direction.
Will’s brilliance comes back to bite him with unexpected and
chilling results.
A thriller set in the legal world that is as much about
primal feelings as it is about the twists and turns of the case. In “The Escape
Artist”, the law is not just an intellectual exercise. Scratch under the
surface and it is all blood and guts.
