Library Book Talk: The Trials of Lila Dalton by L.J. Shepherd

Event details: 

Join us for a fascinating evening talk in the Library as author and human rights barrister L.J. Shepherd discusses her debut novel. 

 
‘Lila Dalton has no memory of how she got to this courtroom. The man in the docks is accused of mass murder, and she’s his barrister – but she can’t remember anything about the case. She can’t remember anything at all. 

Lila is stranded on an island hundreds of miles from the UK, where the most serious crimes go to trial. The next plane out doesn’t leave for days. 

And she’s being watched. Someone keeps breaking into her hotel room to leave cryptic notes, threatening her with deadly consequences if she doesn’t get her client off…’ 

L.J. Shepherd began practising as a barrister in 2017. Since then, she has prosecuted and defended in many jury trials in the Crown Court. She is now a Human Rights barrister instructed in high-profile public inquiries.
