The Pitt Dynasty continues!

Twenty-One Days (Daniel Pitt #1)    
by Anne Perry


                            

A brave new beginning for Daniel and Charlotte's son Daniel! Now a junior barrister he greets his situation with a devoted fervency and honor. 
After defending a family friend, Roman Blackwell, he is called by his Head of Chamber, Marcus fford Croft, to assist Toby Kitteridge with the defence of one Russell Graves. He is accused of the heinous murder of his wife.
Graves, a biographer, presents facts in such a way that truth appears to be lost. It just so happens that at the moment he is working on the biography of Daniel's uncle, Victor Narraway, his father's predecessor as Head of Special Branch.
Daniel is confronted with defending a person whose writings could damage the reputations of those he loves and could bring down the nation. He has to face the very real challenge of doing what is right and just, over against his personal considerations.
Daniel and Kitteridge race against time to have Graves' case negated. Ably assisted by fford Croft's daughter Miriam. A brilliant 
doctor and chemist. Therein hides another story! I do hope we see more of Miriam. Of course there's a brilliant twist at the end!
The development of Kitteridge's and Daniel's relationship is also well with watching.
A fantastic new series that builds on its loved fore runners!
