A Grain of Truth by Nicholas Hasluck

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. General wear to book corners and edges.

In this, his eighth novel, prize-winning author Nicholas Hasluck tells a gripping tale that gradually discloses the truth about the legal system, how facts can be transformed by skilful advocacy, and the risk of justice not being done.

His portrayal of Henri Revenant, the mysterious architect whose words illuminate the story, Hasluck shows how the law in action is inevitably influenced by politics, by wagging tongues, by rumours and half-truths, by time and chance. (publisher blurb)
