When Terry Flynt gets the chance to defend a millionaire accused of murder, he knows the case could make his career - but the accused man is Flynt's greatest enemy. Can he defend a man who ruined his life?
Terry Flynt is a struggling legal clerk desperately trying to get promoted when he is given the biggest opportunity of his career: to help defend a millionaire accused of murdering a woman in his hotel suite. The only problem is that the accused man, Vernon James, is not only someone he knows but someone he loathes. This case could potentially make Terry's career, but how can he defend a former friend who betrayed him?
With the trial date looming, Terry delves deeper into Vernon's life and is forced to confront secrets from their shared past that could have devastating consequences for them both. For years, he has wanted to witness Vernon's downfall, but with so much at stake, how can Terry be sure he is guilty? And what choices must he make to ensure that justice is done?

Critic reviews
"David Thorpe dazzles with his performance.... [T]he characters run the gamut from upper-crust Brits to African immigrants, and Thorpe can do it all.... This production is jet-propelled and marvelously entertaining." (AudioFile)

After a run of mysteries, so-called thrillers, and legal dramas filled with unattractive characters and plots both holey and overblown, this was a real find - thank you Ted and R. Pontiflet for your recommendations.
There are more than enough flawed characters to go around, including but far from limited to the accused and the protagonist, quite a few "why in heavens is he doing that?" moments, a bit more brooding by the protagonist than I really like, moves I was second-guessing as trial techniques, and lots of rather improbable coincidences, but it all works, and adds up to a great listen - oh, and yes, the reader made it all the better.
All the five star reviews are well merited

What made the experience of listening to The Verdict the most enjoyable?
The characters were so believable. Nobody was perfect, even the "good guys." Great understanding by the author.What other book might you compare The Verdict to and why?
I bought this book because a review mentioned John Grisham. And yes, it reminds me of a John Grisham book but perhaps more involved.Which scene was your favorite?
I liked when the main character finally went back home. He made more sense when I met his family. But that actually was one of many scenes that was a favorite.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Does finishing it count (?) because I wanted to know the conclusion, but I didn't want the book to end!Any additional comments?
This is the first book I have read/listened to by Nick Stone. He is an excellent writer. I also very much enjoyed the narrator...very talented.Engrossing
