THE BRILLIANTLY TAUT, GRITTY AND TWISTY NEW LEGAL THRILLER FOLLOWING BARRISTER LEE MITCHELL IN HER MOST CONTROVERSIAL CASE YET

Lee Mitchell is out for justice.

A young barrister from a working-class Caribbean background, everything is stacked against her in the cut-throat environment of the courtroom.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
