How can you tell if someone is lying? If you’re a lawyer how do you prove it? Does a lawyer always stick to the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Dan Grant is a lawyer who has managed to follow his moral compass for as long as anyone can remember and getting quite a reputation for it. You don’t often get to see morals in a courtroom, not from the legal team and certainly not from the man in the dock. He has a number of cases often thrown at him at the last minute – this one, the death of a teacher is no exception.
What if the whole truth is still waiting to be uncovered?
The town glinted in the early morning sun. A small spot on the northern map somewhere between the large urban sprawls near the coast and the dark shadows of the Pennines.
The view was of old grey stone clustered in the town centre, nestled in the valley. Terraced streets ran up the opposing hill in tight grids behind the arches of a railway viaduct. Bright supermarket signs along the new ring road interrupted the mood, but they were a blip. The canal had built the town, like most in the area, as it cut though the valley and brought cotton from Liverpool , turned into cloth in the mills, Soot-stained chimney stacks rose high above the roof tops
Dan grant smiled at the view. The town might be small, grubby, insular, silent , forgotten and derelict, but most of all, it was his.
Manchester is on the map for the legal trail – This is Neil White’s stomping ground after all. There are many courts and legal buildings in a small cluster here to stare at and wonder if there isn’t a Dan playing his role within right now.
