About this listen
In a razor-sharp legal thriller, Jack Kowalski must win two challenging trials to save his reputation and his career.
Junior barrister Jack Kowalski is crushed. His client Timothy Smart appears to have committed a monstrous crime while on bail - a bail application Jack fought hard to win.
When a high-profile Polish footballer is charged with rape and demands a fellow countryman represent him, Jack must overcome his guilt and get back to work. Before long he takes on a second case, a GBH for instructing solicitor Lara Panassai, who Jack remains desperate to impress. But neither case is what it seems, and Jack will face an extraordinary uphill battle to see that justice is done...
The second Jack Kowalski novel, Unconvicted is a gripping courtroom drama written with the expert insight of a practising criminal barrister, perfect for fans of William L. Myers, Deborah Hawkins, and Scott Turow.
Olly Jarvis is a writer and criminal defence barrister, originally from London but now working in Manchester. Drawing on his experiences, he writes both fiction and non-fiction with a particular understanding of the pressures and excitement of life in the courtroom.
He wrote the highly acclaimed Radio 4 drama Judgement, and wrote and presented the BBC documentary Mum Knows Best. He is also the author of Death by Dangerous. Olly has two children and lives in Cheshire.

Carefully written with excellent storyline. Always enjoyable reading someth8ng written by someone with obvious knowledge of the background and setting. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Excellent all round.
I really enjoyed this book - liking these courtroom mysteries. The narration was a bit stilted at times but the story carried you along. A good character - those who enjoy Charles Holborn escapades may want to give Jack a try.

5* Legal Thriller
This is exactly what I'm looking for when I search legal thriller or courtroom drama.
A barrister that does his work in court. Very well written and performed.
The only thing wrong is that there are only 2 books in the series.
Olly, we want more!

Hey ho….
The protagonist is too full of self doubt! A nice idea to have a Polish outside but not a very credible portraual.
