Trial and Retribution is written by Lynda LaPlante. The title is Book 1 (of 6) in Ms.
LaPlante’s Trial and Retribution series.

Author’s Note. “Trial and retribution was originally a television series, launching on screens
25 years ago, following the success of Prime Suspect and The Governor. I wrote the novels
as the TV series progressed - 6 books alongside 12 television series - and both were a phenomenal success.”
*The Author’s Note is great reading in itself and too lengthy to repeat here.

Book 1 of Trial and Retribution revolves around “every mother’s nightmare - her missing daughter found murdered and her lover the prime suspect.
A very high-profile case. 12 men and women will decide the verdict. Only you can decide if
justice is done.”

Lynda LaPlante is a wonderful, prolific, author and screenwriter. I am a big fan. Her books are
well-written and plotted - full of tension, suspense, grittiness and British police politics. Ms. LaPlante writes excellent police procedurals and court procedurals.
Highly recommended ***** ( )

Audiobook - I loved this courtroom drama and it kept me guessing until the very end. ( )

Good book of a TV series. Couldn't put it down.
