A John Grisham type legal thriller, this book is an excellent
read. Set in Melbourne, the local
flavour adds an extra element to the story.
Defence lawyer Will Harris is an extremely likeable main character. His unorthodox methods inevitably lead to
trouble and you will find yourself firmly planted in his corner as he fights for
the underdog.
The Unbroken Line is the second Will Harris book. Blood Witness is the first book and is also a
worthy read.
What’s it about?
The violence of the past casts a long shadow – a dark legacy with
lethal consequences. When defence lawyer Will Harris is attacked by masked men
with a clear message to back off, he has no choice but to listen. If only he
knew what they were talking about.
Under siege as his fledgling law firm struggles to get off the
ground, Will agrees to defend the troubled son of a family friend. But the case
is far from clear-cut, and the ethical boundaries murky. Instead of clawing his
way out of trouble, Will finds he's sinking ever deeper.
At the same time, his search for his attackers unearths an
unexpected source that points him towards Melbourne's corridors of power. But
motives, let alone proofs, are hard to find. It is only when those close to him
are threatened that Will realises how near he is to the deadly truth.
Gripping, sophisticated and strikingly atmospheric, The Unbroken
Line creates a remarkable portrait of power, revenge and corruption, rooted in
a vivid and unmistakably Australian setting.
