The fourth novel about the lives and loves of the barristers at Caper Court and of the clerks who look after them.
A hallowed place it may be - but No 5 Caper Court in the Inner Temple is riddled with rumour and uncertainty. Cameron Renshaw, head of chambers, is dying; there is a move afoot to leave the Temple for Lincoln's Inn, and Leo Davies, the QC with the charmed and amoral life, the working class boy from Wales whose sophisticated intellect has taken him to the highest levels of the Bar, is about to take one risk too many.
Behind him lie a failed marriage, a string of lovers of both sexes, and a habit of seductive cruelty which, until now, has left him more or less unscathed. But now, at last, one or two chickens look as if they may be coming home to roost. There is Rachel, his ex-wife and a lawyer herself, ready to do anything that may be necessary to protect her small son from his father. There is Sarah Colman - arguably she knows more of Leo's secrets than anyone, and now she has come to be a pupil at 5 Caper Court. And there is Joshua, beautiful, uncommitted, not choosy about where he takes his pleasure - and on the lookout for a safe haven.
