From the Inside Flap:
Dan Becket is a brilliant barrister haunted by the shadows of the past. Simon Montford is the darling of the establishment, a millionaire industrialist and former cabinet minister. Their fates are joined in the most sensational trial in fifty years -- the first war crimes prosecution since Nuremberg.
When the Allies liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1945, the world believed the horrors of the camps were at an end. But in the experimental sub-camp of Neuwelt, one final atrocity was yet to be committed, and the repercussions are surfacing only now with Major Simon Montford of the British Army on trial for murder.
Becket does everything he can to avoid prosecuting the case. Accepting the brief could ruin his career; refusing it could endanger his life and that of his daughter.

Dexter Dias is a practising barrister specializing in criminal defence. He has already written on a variety of legal and political issues, but the stimulus for writing fiction came when he met acclaimed author Ruth Rendell while he was defending a murder in 1993. Rule of Law is his third novel, but the first to be published separately in Canada. He lives in London, and is currently working on a television series for the BBC.
