One Law For the Rest of Us Summary

One Law For the Rest of Us by Peter Murphy

Two generations of abuse... one shocking conspiracy... a woman determined to expose it all

When Audrey Marshall sends her daughter Emily to the religious boarding school where she herself was educated a generation before, memories return - memories of a culture of child sexual abuse presided over by a highly-regarded priest. Audrey turns to barrister Ben Schroeder in search of justice for Emily and herself. But there are powerful men involved, men determined to protect themselves at all costs. . .

The trial(s) rattle along at a good pace and in the end a form of justice is done -- Dave Wurtzel * Counsel Magazine *
Murphy paints a trenchant picture of establishment cover-up, and cannily subverts the clichA (c)s of the legal genre in his all-too-topical narrative * Financial Times *
This story is a serious legal court room read, there are various legal aspects that are intense, it follows the fight for justice -- Yvonne Bastian * NetGalley *
There is a suitably dastardly solicitor and barrister opposing, providing plenty of fiery exchanges -- Chris Roberts * CrimeReview *

About Peter Murphy

Born in 1946, Peter Murphy graduated from Cambridge University and pursued a career in the law in England, the United States and The Hague. He practised as a barrister in London for a decade, then took up a professorship at a law school in Texas, a position he held for more than twenty years. Towards the end of that period he returned to Europe as counsel at the Yugoslavian War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague for almost a decade. In 2007 he returned to England to take up an appointment as a judge of the Crown Court. He retired as Resident Judge and Honorary Recorder of Peterborough in 2015. Peter started writing fiction more than twenty years ago, but following his retirement from the bench he became a full-time author, often drawing on the many experiences of his former career. Two political thrillers about the American presidency: Removal and Test of Resolve were followed by eight legal thrillers in the Ben Schroeder series about a barrister practising in London in the 1960s and 1970s. Alongside those he also penned the light-hearted series of short story colllections featuring Judge Walden of Bermondsey in the 'Rumpole' tradition, based in part on his own experiences as a lawyer and judge, and recently published A Statue for Jacob, based on the true story of Jacob de Haven. Peter passed away in September 2022.
