Benson is a compelling character.The court scenes are irresistible, with as many twists and turns as you could want * Irish Times * An all-action court drama * Sunday Times * Intriguing . . . packed with accurate legal detail, the story never loses its grip - it is no surprise it's been optioned for TV -- Geoffrey Wansall * Daily Mail * An elegant, intricate legal thriller with nerve-shredding courtroom action * Sunday Mirror * [Summary Justice] works superbly as a classic courtroom drama, in which nothing is as it seems - even though it really does seem it. Yet what makes the book particularly impressive is that there's far more to it than just brilliant plotting. It also has genuine heart, plenty of interesting things to say about the law and a highly appealing troubled hero. With a major television drama series already in the offing, I suspect we'll hear a lot more of William Benson inthe years to come * Readers Digest * I followed his trials, tribulations and eventual triumph with great enjoyment. This unusual courtroom drama is quick-witted and vividly imagined * Literary Review *
