Britain's version of John Grisham is Dexter Dias. I am a fan of Grisham's, and a law student to boot, so I am a bit biased. Still, I found Dias to be quite creative. Near the end, unfortunately, it seems that you have figured him out. Thankfully, though you probably have gotten the big pieces, there are a few more surprises along the way. Any American interested in the law should enjoy this piece simply because of the insight into the British legal system. It does not operate like the American system, and it is fun and enlightening to get entwined in Britain's while enjoying a thought-provoking story.
