When Roger Goodhart is made wheelchair-bound by a nasty road accident, there’s only one place to turn... Alistair Duncan, a cut-and-thrust Bristol solicitor, takes on him claim. But the more he investigates, the more mysterious it becomes: how did a French juggernaut come to crush Roger’s car? He travels to France where, with the help of the beautiful Hélène, he pursues the lorry driver. It’s a violent, dangerous job, but Alastair thinks it’s worth it. Then, a High Court Judge reports him to the Law Society for alleged misconduct, and as the web of lies tightens, can Alastair make this case for compensation work in his favour?
Praise for Douglas Stewart:
“The climax is tense… authentic” – Western Gazette “This exciting story, with its wonderfully vivid court scenes…” – South Wales Argus “Do read this superb novel” – Sunday IndependentDouglas Stewart did not properly start writing until after qualifying as a solicitor. He juggled writing with running a law-office in London before taking early retirement, giving him more time to focus on writing. After a stint in Las Vegas, he is now back in Europe where he lives with his wife. Case for Compensation is the first of three novels involving Bristol solicitor Alistair Duncan.
