How was it possible that he could handle Swiss bankers, West End impresarios, senior partners and seasoned solicitors, but was a quivering wreck in the presence of this man? A murder attempt goes wrong, killing Nicholas, which gives Danny the chance to escape prison in the guise of soon-to-be-released Sir Nicholas Moncrieff. And if that is not enough, prepare for an ending that will shock even the most ardent of Archer's fans. Look-alike Nicholas Moncrieff seemed to be aware from the beginning that his identity was for the sole-purpose of being used to prove Danny’s innocence.Exploration of the British justice system was captivating, but although this book is a legal thriller, it concentrated just as much - if not subtly more - on the side of social-economic status differences. At the end of the day, I enjoyed the cast of supporting characters: Big Al, Alex Redmayne’s father; rt. The solicitor he selected, a Mr Makepeace, had demanded five thousand pounds up front, even before he took the top off his fountain pen, and then another five once he'd briefed Alex Redmayne, the barrister who would represent him in Court. In works this multi-layered, different things seem to strike individual readers more strongly than others.

Someone once said that a brilliant mind is known by its ability to communicate a complicated subject matter in a simple manner and without losing the essence. It's a no-win situation - if they make a profit they forget that it was you who recommended it, and if they make a loss they never stop reminding you. Although I've read that letter every day for the past eight months, those tears were not shed by me, but by the man who wrote them.
