Summary
A thriving law practice and a happy marriage are almost enough to convince solicitor Eric Ward he has overcome his painful past and started a new life.
All it takes is the wrong client for it all to unravel.
An investigative journalist beaten to a pulp.
A crooked Newcastle businessman living the high life in France.
A woman from a half-forgotten past.
Former police officer-turned-solicitor Eric Ward represents Eddie Stevens, an investigative reporter on the trail of a hot story. Badly beaten by a local roughneck, Stevens discovers he is on a bigger trail when finds a dead body of an unknown man.
Ward’s investigation leads him to Lansley, a shady Newcastle entrepreneur with criminal ties living in Marseilles. Then a woman from Ward’s own half-forgotten past turns up, looking to him to be her savior. A gruesome revelation in the first case just might be the solution to the second.
Ward quickly discovers excavating the past can be a dangerous business.

Wonderful.
Unfortunately for him, Eric Ward attracts the attention of all the wrong people. The man, however, does not make things easier for himself and agrees to help a highly suspicious and anxiety-inducing person. "The Diamond Murder" offers less legal wrangling and more sly investigation and scheming, but the quality of the plot, pace, characterisation and atmosphere remain sky-high and Roy Lewis delivers another great story in this excellent series.

Good story
Dreadful pronouncing of place names in Northumberland. North East accent is also poor. Wards voice lacks emotion .

Weak Protagonist
These novels written in the 80s are meant to have a different thrust than today's pathetic attitudes. But they are just as bad as all other wimpy male attitudes of this century, so just one more protagonist devoid of discernment and strength of mind to not be manipulated.
I'm stubborn, I keep trying to enjoy these, but with this one I just skipped to the end to bypass all the annoying silliness and time-wasting dialogue
