Love. Sometimes it feels like there should be a law against it. But even at a leading firm of barristers you can’t legislate for the entanglements of the human heart.

At 5 Caper Court Leo Davies QC – sexually ambiguous, charismatic and attractive to men and women alike – stirs the hearts of many. There’s scheming, sexy Sarah; Anthony, an ex-pupil and friend; charming Gideon, a civil servant on the make; and sweet Camilla, a junior lawyer in Leo’s chambers – to name a few. Plenty of opportunities, then, for a silver-haired sophisticate to have fun. But Leo is tiring of his hedonistic lifestyle. Perhaps what he really needs is honest emotion – even love? Could it be that the cool and controlling Leo will fall? But who for … ?

In this compelling story of lust, love and jealousy, Caro Fraser once again brings the affairs, friendships and feuds of 5 Caper Court brilliantly to life.
