About the Book

Harry Flack is reliable and his judgement is cast-iron. For years, as the longest-serving night-lawyer for The Record, he has kept the newspaper out of court. But on the last day of his working life, a new editor arrives. It's Eddie Conrad, and Flack has reasons to seek revenge on him for affairs between them and others that are set deep in the past Eliminating legal problems has been Flack's life. He knows them intimately; he is Fleet Street's finest. But will creating legal blunders to incriminate Conrad be as easy? Can he do it without implicating himself? And can anyone stop him?

About the Author :
Alex Wade was born in west London, grew up in Devon and lives in Cornwall. After studying American and English Literature at the University of East Anglia, he became a lawyer, specialising in libel law and working for law firms, publishers and newspaper groups. A spell off the rails in his early 30s led to Alex taking up boxing; his first book, Wrecking Machine, recounts his pugilistic adventures. A keen surfer since his teens, Alex has also written two books about surfing. Alex combines working as a libel lawyer with freelance journalism for the nationals. Flack's Last Shift is his first novel.

Review :
"Wickedly observant... this witty, pacey thriller is a portrait of newspapers at a time of mighty upheaval." - THE TIMES. "A fabulous read." - GEORGINA GODWIN, MONOCLE 24. "Has the ring of psychological truth... deals sensitively with that most scary of questions: did I take the right decisions in my life?" - THE HERALD, SCOTLAND. "A rattling good read" - PHILLIP TAYLOR MBE. "A witty, insightful and gripping glimpse into the world of national newspaper journalism. More please!" KIRSTIE NEWTON, CORNWALL TODAY. "Wade is a prolific writer of non-fiction but this is a confident stride into the world of fiction. Very funny, with a tightly wrought plot and deft characterisation." - SIR MARK WARBY. "A must-read legal novel, beautifully told by Wade" - ALEX ALDRIDGE, EDITOR, LEGAL CHEEK. "Intriguing insights into the nightlife of newspapers. If it's libel law or cricket Flack knows the score - but he's less sure about women... Superb." - PETER FLUCK, CO-FOUNDER, SPITTING IMAGE. "The law, journalism, intrigue, wit - a glorious page-turner that's got the lot." - GYLES BRANDRETH. "The story focuses on behind-the-scenes intrigues and chicanery of life as a top newspaper's night lawyer... like THE NIGHT MANAGER - but involves putting the newspaper to bed rather than guests." - THE TIMES
