Penitent

By Mark Leggatt

Genre:-Thriller

Pages:-320

Publisher:-Fledging Press

Blurb:-Justice can be outwith the law.

Meet Hector Lawless. As a brilliant Edinburg lawyer, Hector has a reputation for untangling the cases that no other lawyer can handle. But the obsessive-compulsive behaviour that's made him a master of the law has also left Hector a pariah amongst his peers-a social outcast with crippling anxiety. The man with the perfectly ordered desk, the pristine notebooks the strictly regimented working day and rituals that make sense only to him.

 When Hector is approached by his boss, Lord Campbell, with a highly sensitive case that reaches from one of Edinburgh's most exclusive private schools to 10 Downing Street, he relishes the chance to bring true evil to justice. But when he is betrayed and framed for murder, Hector must call on every one of the skills he has cultivated over a lifetime of being an outsider to survive.

 Retreating into the shadows, Hector begins a deadly cat-and -mouse game with the police and MI5. They think they've got him cornered. But no-one really knows how far he will go for revenge. Justice will be served. The penitent must accept their penance. As Hector's enemies are about to discover, it really is the quiet ones you have to worry about.

 PENITENT is a compelling, immersive thriller from Mark Leggatt, author of the acclaimed Connor Montrose series.

My Review:-Hector isn't like any other lawyer, he knows what's right and he'll stop at nothing to prove it. He  is given a highly important assignment, something that could rock the government. Hector knows it's not going to be an easy job, but that's the sort of thing he likes.  I enjoyed the storyline, it had me guessing what was next for Hector. I found it a exciting read and will be reading more from Mark.
