Case for Compensation
(2017)(The first book in the Alistair Duncan Thriller series)
A novel by Douglas Stewart
When Roger Goodhart is made wheelchair-bound by a nasty road accident, there's only one place to turn...
Alistair Duncan, a cut-and-thrust Bristol solicitor, takes on him claim.
But the more he investigates, the more mysterious it becomes: how did a French juggernaut come to crush Roger's car?
He travels to France where, with the help of the beautiful Helene, he pursues the lorry driver.
It's a violent, dangerous job, but Alastair thinks it's worth it.
Then, a High Court Judge reports him to the Law Society for alleged misconduct, and as the web of lies tightens, can Alastair make this case for compensation work in his favour?
