Trial and Retribution is the best crime novel I have ever read. It's not a mystery, it's not an action thriller, and it's certainly not a detective story. It is instead a wonderfully crafted legal drama with compelling characterization and phenomenal dialogue, set in the UK.
Trial and Retribution is a gripping new thriller by Lynda La Plante, author of the best-selling novels for television series Tipping Point and Prime Suspect.

In the year 2047, Detective Chief Inspector Jack Caffery is assigned a case that will change his life. He is summoned to the old town of Battersby in Yorkshire to investigate a murder. A young woman has been found dead in a wooded area. Her clothes give no clues, and there are no footprints or evidence of any struggle at the scene. There's only one personal item, a green stone with an ornate gold design carved on it. In its current state, it's worthless and difficult to sell on the black market because of the intricate design on it, but when it gets heated up, flashes red and blue like neon lights.
