A Criminal Practice by Terrance Dicks

Newly-qualified and full of youthful idealism, Matthew Larrabie joins his uncle's firm of solicitors.

But George Larrabie has a criminal practice, and Matthew finds himself defending hardened villains like Ginger Smith.

Fred Selby, the little man in trouble, is much more Matthew's sort of client. But a lawyer's life can be full of surprises - as Matthew finds out...
