The Quest For Silk

Fresh from her success in her first murder trial at the Old Bailey, Penelope Lloyd-Hargreaves is persuaded to represent a senior Queen’s Council who is in grave danger of being disbarred. Having accepted the case, she must call upon every ounce of expertise to achieve a satisfactory result. But is it enough? Will she prevail? And what of the request to take on a pupil? How will this fit in with her ambition to take silk?
With a victory or two under her belt, leaders of the judiciary and the legal profession take note. Penny is subsequently given a task which is not quite the opportunity it appears to be, and she finds that her career may be at stake. In The Quest for Silk, Penny is tested to the limits of her professional endurance.
