A gripping Scottish legal thriller featuring a relentless defence lawyer, a high-profile murder case, and a deadly secret hidden in rare whisky. Justice has never been so intoxicating. When bestselling novelist Jilly Jean Lyon is accused of poisoning her whisky entrepreneur husband, defence lawyer Robbie Munro is pulled into a case that looks airtight. The evidence stacks up. The motive is clear. And the Crown is ready to close in. But Robbie doesn't believe the story is that simple. As his ex-cop father digs into the victim's distillery and a dangerous former client turns his attention toward Robbie's daughter, the case begins to fracture. Missing casks, hidden debts, and a forty-year-old single malt point to something far darker than a straightforward murder. Because someone went to great lengths to make this look like an open-and-shut case. And they're not finished yet. Illicit Still is Book 16 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly, this is a sharp, character-driven legal thriller packed with tension, twists, and courtroom drama. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Best Defence Series: ? ? ? ? ?
