The Protest by Rob Rinder
Rob Rinder’s background as a former barrister shines through
on every page of this brilliant book. This is the third instalment in the Adam
Green series I’ve read, and each one surpasses the last. Rinder doesn’t just
write Adam—he becomes him—bringing an extraordinary understanding of the hearts
and minds of those accused.
Two cases. Both dangerous, in very different ways. The first explodes into the public eye when a celebrated artist is assassinated in broad daylight—his face sprayed with blue paint; the pigment laced with cyanide. The spectacle is brutal. Unforgettable. The second case simmers beneath the surface: a soldier stands accused of murdering a young boy in the war-torn terrain of Kandistan. It’s a quiet scandal cloaked in military protocol, but the fallout could reverberate through the highest ranks of power. Adam Green must walk a legal tightrope, where every truth revealed could trigger a new kind of war.
Rob Rinder's novels only grow bolder and sharper with each
release. The tension crackles from the very first page, and just when you think
you've caught your breath, the final twist lands—clever, unexpected, and all
too real. Amidst the courtroom drama and high-stakes intrigue, Adam’s mother
brings a burst of comic brilliance. She’s the kind of character you recognise
instantly: warm, meddling, and absolutely hilarious. I found myself giggling
more than once. Now I’m counting down the days to book four—because if there’s
one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Adam Green’s next move is never predictable.
