Who This Author Is

Tom McGregor writes lean, courtroom-centered fiction focused on tense legal dilemmas and moral ambiguity. His novel Kavanagh Q.C. (1997) follows a seasoned barrister navigating complicated cases, personal stakes, and the procedural machinery that shapes verdicts, delivering a close, procedural look at justice under pressure.

McGregor’s prose emphasizes sharp dialogue, courtroom choreography, and the ripple effects of verdicts on clients and counsel. The book privileges ethical complexity over melodrama, tracing how professional expertise collides with human flaws and how a single trial can redefine careers and conscience.
