![]() ![]() Devlin is a maverick criminal barrister with a past, drawn into a series of high-octane adventures, the scope of which go far beyond the Old Bailey into the world of geo-political conspiracy. ![]() There’s plenty of action, both in and out of court, to be found in the Michael Devlin books by practising barrister Tony Kent, the most recent of which is Power Play. Take It Back by Kia Abdullah gives a different take on a legal thriller, with a former criminal barrister, Zara Kaleel, seeking justice in a topical and gritty story of an explosive rape trial. The latest, Fixed Odds, is thoroughly entertaining. The books feature a criminal defence lawyer who lifts the lid on the peculiarities of Scots law through his cases. But, for stories that have the ability to distract and even entertain, you could try the Robbie Munro series by William McIntyre (himself a Scottish solicitor). I think Horace Rumpole speaks for us all when he says: “If I don’t like the way the times are moving, I shall refuse to accompany them.” Would that we had that choice right now. ![]()
