简要：Martha finally became a QC, making her older than Reader. Their first common case was defending the silent thug Brendan Kay, who was a trusted aide to the notorious criminal Farr family and was accused of semi blind driving a driver who clashed with his boss Jodie Farr. Martha believes that Farr's influential lawyers, sharp Mickey Joy, and Farr are conspiring to stitch together innocent Kai for the crimes Farr has committed. When defending Farr with powerful prosecutors Caroline Warwick and Attorney General Alan Caudrey, Martha found Reader to be her ultimate help. He also has a separate case, defending the killer Fatima Ali, which was handed over by female lawyer George Dagen. Dagen refused his romantic efforts to pursue her.
