Overview
Nothing But The Truth is the third instalment in The Secret Barrister's bestselling series of memoirs, following an anonymous junior barrister's journey from wide-eyed law student to seasoned advocate. Combining dark humour with genuinely shocking revelations, this brand new hardback memoir pulls back the curtain on Britain's creaking criminal justice system. It is a must-read for fans of legal non-fiction and true crime, told with the author's trademark wit and honesty.

About the Book
Nothing But The Truth charts an outsider's progress down the winding path towards practising at the Bar, taking readers through the sometimes absurd traditions of the Inns of Court, where every meal mandates a glass of port and a toast to the monarch, through to the fiercely competitive scramble for pupillage. From there, The Secret Barrister recounts the endlessly frustrating reality of life as a junior barrister, working within a justice system so strained it is close to breaking point. Full of hilarious, shocking and surprising anecdotes drawn directly from a career at the criminal Bar, the book tracks the author's transformation from an austerity-supporting twenty-something into a campaigning, reforming, bestselling writer whose work in defence of the rule of law has been celebrated around the world. With a sharp eye for the absurd, The Secret Barrister lays bare the uncomfortable truths and dark secrets that define life inside Britain's criminal courts. Praised as compelling, illuminating and gob-smacking, it stands as both a deeply personal account and a wider indictment of a system under pressure, and will resonate with fans of the author's earlier bestsellers, Stories of the Law and How It's Broken and Fake Law.
