When the law lets a violent gangster walk free, everyone becomes judge, jury, and executioner.
When notorious gangster Frank “The Judge” Morrissey walks free—declared innocent by a jury that mirrors his own twisted sense of justice—Essex Police reels. But justice takes a darker turn when Sofia Lawrence, a legal assistant involved in the case, is found brutally murdered with ten thousand pounds in cash on her body.
Detective Sergeant Isla Robertson and her father, Tam McLean, begin to unravel Sofia’s final days, uncovering a chilling truth: her connection to Morrissey runs far deeper than the courtroom: he is her godfather. As the investigation tightens, another man is hunting for the truth. Terry Richardson, Sofia’s ex con father, is running his own inquiry, driven by grief, rage, and a singular goal: to deliver a death sentence of his own.
In a county where the law has failed, justice is no longer blind, and everyone has a verdict to deliver.
“Death Sentence” is the third book in the “Robertson and McLean” series by CM Sinclair. Perfect for fans of Peter James, JM Dalgliesh, Mark Billingham, LJ Ross, Helen H. Durrant, Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean, Joy Ellis and Robert Bryndza.
