Description
‘If I can’t get off – get me out – at any price!’
When millionaire property tycoon Billy Danvers is arrested and awaiting trial for murdering his wife’s lover, his best friend – a respectable city banker – turns to London’s most powerful criminal to pull off the ultimate escape. But when it comes down to huge sums of money, the line between loyalty and betrayal begins to blur.
Miracles Cost Extra is a razor-sharp thriller that delivers a stunningly authentic look at how justice can be bent, bought, or broken. It takes readers deep inside the world of high-stakes prison breaks, underworld fixers, and the shadowy border between law and crime.
Written by Henry Milner, a legal heavyweight who has defended some of Britain's most notorious criminals. With decades of firsthand courtroom experience, the author crafts a story so true-to-life, it could have been ripped from his case files.
‘Drawing on a lifetime defending crime, Milner writes with elegant, compelling clarity; a novel that’s simply a joy to read.’ Judge Rinder
‘A well plotted and thoroughly entertaining tale of lust, murder, bribery, loyalty, betrayal and revenge.' James Morton, Author of Krays: The Final Word

I enjoyed this crime caper written by a former advocate who has a deep and longstanding knowledge of the English legal system.
The plot is clever and original and the characters are well drawn. The action is non-stop and the book never flags.
All in all this is an excellent if fairly light weight legal thriller which examines just how far you will go and treachery and friendship alike.

A thriller that pulls you in and doesnt hide from the darkness of what it takes to get justice or even buy it. And who will be willing to let yhat happen for the right reasons or for money.
Power, money and loyalty takes you into the shadows. And what power that brings is something that gets the brain ticking.
Billy needs all on his side when he is accused of killing his wife's lover.and from then on he takes you into a workd youd never meet and for good reasons.
Its so interesting to step into this world. Its one as a reader most of us won't get to peak into. On both sides of the law, innocent or bought innocent, biases and all the inner workings that must bring so much real and problems to all systems and potentially not for the good of the innocent or vulnerable.
And you quickly learn and see how one wrong turn or weave into the wrong kind of systems,beleifs,bought power is never just an inch in,you are then all the way into the darkness with consequences to follow.
Becsuse what do people do without money? Lost to a system that will never be on their side?
The pacing is great. It feels like a ride but also one filled with realness. And it took me alot deeper into how I thought about things too.

Terrific insights into the English legal system, making this a true education as well as an entertaining read. The author captured the desperation of the person facing imprisonment so well, and I can imagine this is how many people who are sued to getting their way would react. I really think this book benefitted greatly from the lived experience and expertise of the author as this shines through and makes the plot very credible and engaging,
