The Mr Big of Criminal Briefs offers a fascinating insight into life at the top of the profession, lifting the lid on the psychology of those who end up on the wrong side of the law - and those who defend them. Outsiders might wonder about how criminal defence lawyers deal with potentially dangerous clients, what happens behind the scenes when building a defence, and that age-old moral dilemma, how can a lawyer defend someone they think is guilty. But what is life really like for those tasked with representing the shadowy underbelly of society? For over 40 years, criminal defence solicitor Henry Milner has been the go-to lawyer for some of Britain's most notorious criminals, including Kenneth Noye and the Brink's-Mat robbers, Freddie Foreman, John 'Goldfinger' Palmer, and the gang behind the Millennium Dome raid. He evokes a bygone era of the criminal justice system with plenty of wry self-deprecating humour, sometimes very funny and never ever dull. 263pp, colour photos.
