Set in contemporary London, The Night Lawyer follows the travails of a young woman who has just accepted a new job with a daily tabloid housed in a sleek dockside skyscraper. She arrives each evening to vet the morning edition while most employees disappear for the night. By day, the offices and the docks along the Thames bustle with activity. But as Ellie soon learns-and her menacing stalker knows all too well-nighttime is a different matter.
