Final Witness by Simon Tolkien
A gripping courtroom drama combining psychological suspense and political intrigue from the pen of ex-barrister-turned-crime novelist Simon Tolkien, grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien.“Half Christie and half Grisham – with a certain panache” — Los Angeles Times
“A legal thriller ripped from tomorrow’s headlines … a remarkably skillful novel, brilliantly conceived and beautifully executed.” — Washington Post
“A very British thriller, it deals with the notions of class, privilege and inheritance, but also a healthy dose of earthy sexual tension … a page turner.” — Daily Mail
“Makes you desperate to find out what happens in the end.” — Sunday Telegraph
“Simon Tolkien has the potential to become the British John Grisham. Writing in the shadow of his grandfather is certainly no easy task, but with clever plot twists, capable handling of courtroom scenes, and an unerring ability to build suspense, he has proven in Final Witness that he can uphold the family name.’ BookPage
