The Protest
The Protest is book 3 in Rob Rinder’s Adam Green legal thriller series. Adam is now a fully qualified barrister when he gets a case that involves the art world. World-famous artist Max Bruce is killed at the Royal Academy after a protester sprays him with blue paint. At first, it looks like the protester is the one who did it. Then Adam learns the paint was laced with cyanide, which makes the whole thing feel much more planned than it first looked. Max was famous and had admirers, but he also had plenty of enemies, and not all of them were standing there with a spray can. So how can Adam defend someone whom everyone already thinks is guilty?
