Interview with crime writer and ex judge, Peter Murphy by Paul Burke about his latest legal thriller in the Ben Schroeder series, VERBAL

Verbal opens with a brutal double murder in Sarajevo in 1983. The investigation leads us into a world of spies, fugitives, armed nationalists, drug trafficking and police fit up.

As well as the Ben Schroeder historical series Peter talks about his contemporary Judge Walden novels reflecting on the experiences of a High Court Judge. 

As a defence counsel at the Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague Peter met some extraordinary people and relates a tale of a humbling and emotional experience. And there's even time to talk about Lord Lucan’s disappearance, getting a tour of Aspinall’s private gambling club and an insider view of the parlous state of the British legal system today.
