Description

It is BabyBarista's first day as a pupil barrister. He has just one year to win, by foul means or fair, the sought-after prize of a tenancy in chambers. Competition is fierce: there's TopFirst, who has a prize-winning CV and an ego to match; BusyBody, a human whirlwind on a husband hunt; and wide-eyed Worrier, buckling under the weight of the world. Armed with a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War", BabyBarista launches a no-holds barred fight to the death of double-dealing, dirty tricks and a healthy dose of back-stabbing. Part Rumpole, part Flashman, BabyBarista opens a window onto the Machiavellian and frequently absurd ways of working life. Follow BabyBarista's adventures on The BabyBarista Blog.

Media Reviews

'A wonderful, racing read - well-drawn, smartly plotted and laugh out loud' Jeremy Vine, broadcaster 'A cross between The Talented Mr Ripley, Rumpole and Bridget Jones's Diary ... a gallop of a read' The Times 'In ever-more wicked and devilishly-funny ways, from hacking into someone's Facebook page to committing identity fraud, BabyB tumbles down the slippery slope from eager competitiveness to underhand racketeering faster than you can say "Objection your honour"' Big Issue 'For all those aspiring advocates who believe they are entering a glamorous or even principled profession, this book is essential reading.'
