The charismatic and brilliant lawyer, Leo Davies, is now head of chambers at 5 Caper Court - and he's beginning to feel the weight of his responsibilities. There's discontent among his fellow barristers, and Leo begins to question whether he want to continue the nine to five grind when he could be working from home and spending more time with his young son. A senior member in chambers doesn't seem to be pulling his weight, either - has he something to hide? Leo's love life seems fraught with problems, too - the teenage sister of his beautiful model girlfriend, Anthea, decides she wants an older man in her life, and sets out to seduce Leo, with disastrous results. And when irregularities crop up in the paperwork of a case Leo is working on for the construction magnate, Sir Dudley Humble, Leo finds himself drawn into a world of Ukrainian gangsters, money-laundering and prostitute trafficking - with potentially dire consequences for himself and his family.In sorting out all the issues in his working and domestic life, Leo needs to exercise his customary blend of charm, intelligence, and amoral ruthlessness. All the familiar characters from "Caper Court" are here - Anthony Cross, the handsome young colleague with whom Leo shares a close - possibly too close - attachment; Rachel, the ex-wife who just can't seem to let go; Henry and Felicity, 5 Caper Court's long-suffering clerks - together with new faces: the lovely Anthea, who thinks she has the key to Leo's heart; Lucy, the precocious, sexy seventeen year-old with a vengeful streak; Anthea's friend, Lola, a girl with a taste for champagne and cocaine, and too much time and money to waste; and, Viktor Kroitor, the ruthless Ukrainian who's about to find out that there may be limits to the legendary incorruptibility of the English barrister.
