At the Old Bailey courthouse in London a lawyer defends an amnesiac accused of murder, the case complicated by romance. The lawyer is the boyfriend of the woman prosecutor and when she leaves him, he takes up with the wife of the accused man.

Dan Becket is a brilliant barrister haunted by the shadows of the past. Simon Montford is the darling of the establishment, a millionaire industrialist and former cabinet minister. Their fates are joined in the most sensational trial in fifty years -- the first war crimes prosecution since Nuremberg. When the Allies liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, the world believed the horrors of the camps were at an end. But in the experimental sub-camp of Neuwelt, one final atrocity was yet to be committed, and the repercussions are surfacing only now with Major Simon Montford of the British Army on trial for murder. Becket does everything he can to avoid prosecuting the case. Accepting the brief could ruin his career; refusing it could endanger his life and that of his daughter.

At the start of this brilliant new thriller, a young girl dies when she is caught in the crossfire of a shooting in the backstreets of South London. Andrea Chambers gets a phone call shortly afterwards. Her son Calvin has been arrested for the child's murder. Corporate lawyer Andrea, a former defense attorney, manages to free him, agreeing to defend a Yardie gang hit man. She becomes embroiled in a case where corruption, drugs and violence are rife. It is impossible to trust those who are supposed to be upholding the law. And it is impossible for those who are upholding the law to do so without breaking it. Gripping, gritty and frighteningly realistic, "Above the Law is a heart-pounding foray into the intersection of ordinary lives with the violent underworld of drug traffickers, gang competition and the police.

An internationally acclaimed attorney presents a courtroom drama about a young English barrister who finds his world turned upside down when he defends a pulp novelist accused of killing a young girl. A first novel.

Vrem să credem că există anumite lucruri pe care nu le-am face niciodată. Vrem să credem că am face mereu altceva. Dar cum ne-am putea convinge? Ce limite avem? Avem oare niște limite? Răspunsul îl găsim în Cele zece tipologii umane: personajele pe care le întruchipam atunci când viața ne confruntă cu cele mai dificile decizii. Acest studiu inovator al naturii umane analizează cele mai frumoase, dar și cele mai întunecate aspecte ale ființei noastre, precum și motivele din spatele acțiunilor pe care le întreprindem. Explorează frontierele experiențelor umane, scoțând la iveală forțele care ne modelează gândurile și acțiunile în situații extreme. Împletind studii de cercetare întreprinse recent în domenii precum neurologia, psihologia socială și drepturile omului, Cele zece tipologii umane este deopotrivă o provocare și o schiță a personalităților noastre tainice. Ne oferă o nouă perspectivă asupra a ceea ce suntem și a ceea ce am putea fi. „Cititorii acestei cărți vor fi cu siguranță puși pe gânduri.” - AURORA LIICEANU „O lucrare absolut indispensabilă, ce-ți dă aripi să zbori.” - HOWARD CUNNELL „Poveștile uluitoare pentru care Dias a străbătut o lume întreagă mi-au rămas adânc întipărite în suflet, tulburându-mi adeseori somnul, dar creionându-mi în alte nuanțe zorile zilei. Un portret extraordinar al speciei umane.” - ZOE WILLIAMS, The Guardian
