NO FEELINGS SPARED

Barely days after recruitment consultant Karen Rutherford’s
right hand man suddenly quits, she is horrified to discover the theft of her
database and an underhand campaign to entice her clients away and destroy her business. Anger turns to disbelief when immediate legal redress fails. Her livelihood threatened to the core, she finds herself locked into a courtroom battle escalating into bitter conflict when a fraught episode from her private life pours oil on already troubled waters.

Not far away, legal executive Paul Craven can hardly believe his luck and his headhunter’s skills when he lands his dream job. Or so he thought. As the cold reality of the new workplace sinks in, it slowly dawns on him that his deepest personal secret - his affliction with Asperger’s
Syndrome - may be impossible to keep to himself any longer. Amid the turmoil, being drawn into someone else’s legal dispute was all he needed.

Craven Conflict. Unwelcome choices. Harsh decisions. Barely lesser evils.

Reviews

"Absolutely brilliant writing! Move over John Grisham and Michael Connolly - this book [Hatred, Ridicule & Contempt] is beautifully written, very well plotted and has a great twist. Well done." - Marion Eaton, Writer of Mystery Thrillers with a Supernatural Twist.

"I found myself surprised by how much I enjoyed Hatred, Ridicule & Contempt ... it is a novel which should have a wide appeal, particularly for those who enjoy legal thrillers and would like to try something different to the usual American fare." - Curious Book Fans

INJUSTICE. TREACHERY. SABOTAGE.

Called upon to defend an acrimonious libel action on behalf of an important newspaper client, newly appointed law firm partner Alex Harris never once expected to find his efforts impeded by wanton disregard for ethics and blatant self interest that crossed all boundaries. Not only on the part of his opponents, but also those he should have been able to trust implicitly and without question...

Hatred, Ridicule and Contempt. A high calibre courtroom drama with many unexpected twists as one man stands up against conformity and the easy way out.

WHERE LAW AND POLITICS COLLIDE.

When a client of law firm partner Alex Harris unexpectedly turned on him in a quest for an undeserved payment to drop a negligence claim, Alex was in no mood to take it lying down after discovering he had almost fallen for an elaborate scam. But never for one moment did he realise just how deep the plot ran and who was pulling his client’s strings.

Nor was his wife Susie any more disposed to a quiet life after her new found political ambitions were treacherously derailed. Shaking off her own disappointment, she calmly struck back at the party machine that had once seemed so eager to welcome her. And not once could she have expected the repercussions for both her and Alex as their mutual struggles against their legal and political opponents become ever more entwined, leading to a shocking outcome.

Infernal Coalition. Where law and politics collide. At their very lowest.
