Under the Wig
Fake Law

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Mixed lot

Overview:
Two authoritative works, two gripping journeys into the real world of justice, now together in a premium hardcover collection. Under the Wig offers an insider’s memoir from a celebrated murder-case barrister, revisiting landmark trials—from Colin Stagg to Jill Dando—and revealing how courts, juries, and legal strategy unfold under intense public scrutiny. It goes beyond the headlines to expose the nerves, the negotiations, and the ethical balance required when lives hang in the balance. The companion title, Fake Law, turns the lens outward, arguing that misperceptions, media spin, and populist rhetoric can warp our understanding of law and threaten due process. This two-book collection merges courtroom realism with a thoughtful critique of legal storytelling, making complex ideas accessible without diluting nuance. Ideal for true-crime fans, students of law, and readers who crave smart, lively nonfiction about justice, power, and the terrifying accuracy (and fragility) of the rule of law.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This set stands at the intersection of memoir and legal analysis, offering a rare dual perspective on how justice is practiced and perceived. Under the Wig delivers high-stakes drama from a practitioner’s vantage point, sharing behind-the-scenes details of cross-examinations, jury dynamics, and the strategic decisions that shape verdicts. Fake Law complements that immersion with a clear-eyed examination of how information – and misinformation – travels from courtrooms to living rooms, influencing public opinion and policy. The result is a cohesive reading experience that satisfies both appetite for true-crime storytelling and hunger for civic literacy. The hardcover duo is a standout gift for students, professionals, and curious readers who value depth, credibility, and a voice you can trust in every paragraph.

Books Included in This Collection:
Under the Wig
In this memoir, a veteran murder-case barrister reflects on a career spent in the courtroom’s glare. It chronicles pivotal cases and reveals how a lawyer prepares for verdict-day pressure, navigates courtroom rivalries, and guards the principle of a fair trial even when public opinion sways. With candid anecdotes and razor-sharp legal insight, this volume invites readers to glimpse the human and procedural realities behind headline-making investigations while celebrating the craft of advocacy. A riveting, thought-provoking read for anyone curious about how justice is truly administered in high-profile trials.
