NO-GOOD LAWYERS

About the Book

When Ed Blake takes up a new position with McKerr and Chetty, solicitors, he very soon has second-thoughts about the job. His boss has no social skills, treats his staff with disdain and their young bookkeeper, Tim, confides in Blake that he is unhappy about frequent payments he is asked to make into an overseas account and some questionable conveyancing transactions which Blake concludes indicate mortgage fraud. The lad decides to raise the issues with his boss, McKerr, who arranges to meet the following evening. However, next day the lad is found dead. McKerr and the police put it down to suicide, saying that McKerr had accused the lad of stealing large amounts of money and that the police would be called in to arrest him. But Blake has his doubts and promises Tim’s mum that he will get to the bottom of the death. Then McKerr turns his attention to Blake … and who is the funny old man who appears to be watching Blakes’ house?

About the Author

Author Edd King left the forces in mid-seventies and trained as a lawyer, a move which brought with it a rich vein of experiences which induced him to write his first book, ‘Cochrane’s Law’ which saw him engaged by a principal who had been taken over by some Russian oligarchs who forced him into money-laundering, people trafficking and sale of forged Home Office documents. This turned out to be a work of 270 pages and 175,000 words but so taken was he with writing that he went on to produce some 16 books in all, fiction and non-fiction mainly law-based. On leaving the profession, he studied for two master’s degrees and took to lecturing in the law of succession and continues to write.
