It examines what happens when Lester Chan, aka the Jewellery King of Hong Kong, is brought up on a charge of banking fraud, a QC of the middle orders, Jonathan Savage, is sent out to Hong Kong to mount the defence of Lester Chan.
It's going to be a bit of a change for Martin as his caseload usually consists of murder and the like. Plus he has never dealt with a case outside of Britain, before.
However, also thrown or drawn into this case is retired solicitor Frank Grinder, who is also working for the defence.
For the prosecution is Graham Truckett, who is serving as a member of the Legal Department of the Government of Hong Kong. Unfortunately for Truckett, he is totally and utterly out of his depth.
The trial judge, Mr Justice O'Brien, is overly pleased with his reputation for running an efficient court, but even Homer sometimes nods, and troubles within the home of Justice O'Brien might mean that his attention is somewhat distracted.
And all set against the background of life in Hong Kong!
Martin Wilson QC based his novel on his experiences with dealing with a number of major law trials in Hong Kong.
The book is published by Matador at £9.99.
