William Clegg QC is a lawyer in England specialising in serious crime. He has fought more than 100 murder cases, more than any English barrister currently practising the law. Under the Wig: A Lawyer's Stories of Murder, Guilt and Innocence is his first book. It is an intelligent and gripping crime read for fans of The Secret Barrister, In Your Defence by Sarah Langford, and Jeremy Hutchinson's Case Histories. Under the Wig features 14 of William Clegg's most intriguing cases, including: — the murder of Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common — the killings in Kent of Dr Lin and Megan Russell — the shooting of Jill Dando — the trial of Private Lee Clegg — the murder of Joanna Yeates — the first Nazi war crimes prosecutions in Britain — the Rebekah Brooks phone hacking trial — war crimes charges against ethnic militias in the former Yugoslavia. 'Bill' Clegg is head of chambers at 2 Bedford Row, one of the top four criminal sets in London. His aim in writing this book was to demystify the work of a defence lawyer. He has been heartened by the reviews to Under the Wig. It has been praised as "gripping" by The Times, "riveting" by the Sunday Express and "fascinating" by the Secret Barrister, who described the author as "one of our country's greatest jury advocates." Several prominent barristers, including Matthew Scott and Bob Marshall-Andrews QC, have said Under the Wig is a "must read" for anyone with an interest in the criminal law.
