Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Five stories from the inside of the Indian legal system, where nothing improper is ever quite done and nothing is ever quite clean. A young associate discovers what her diligence is worth after a senior advocate's car is seen in the wrong car park. A judge under blackmail makes a moving appeal to filial decency, and saves his own life by it. A judge of the Supreme Court, three months short of the only thing he has ever wanted, says one wry sentence in the dark to a woman who is listening carefully. A corporate lawyer's stalled elevation moves at last, after a meeting at which nothing at all is asked of him. A trial judge reads a dead man's accusations on her phone and returns, by evening, to the question of what she owes and to whom. Set in courtrooms, chambers, corridors and the clubs where the real work is done, these are stories about people who are not villains and do not think of themselves as corrupt, who take the option in front of them, and go on to the next matter.
