Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Flot, veltrænet og omkring de 50 år - dommer John Deed er ikke den typiske højesteretsdommer. Han besidder en flabet charme, der står i modsætning til hans skarpe intellekt. Hans passion for retfærdighed og hans særegne tilgang til sagerne fører ham på kollisionskurs med justitsministeriet. Denne dommers egensindige metoder er alt for ofte en rød klud i ansigtet på etablissementet, når han helt bevidst styrer uden om de traditioner, som systemet forsøger at prakke ham på. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Judge John Deed has made it to the top of his profession on his own terms. Fearless and independent, he regularly crosses establishment figures - men like his former father-in-law, Lord Justice of Appeal Channing; his ex-wife's fiancee the Home Secretary; or Sir Ian Rochester at the Lord Chancellor's Office - who try to influence his decisions. A sharp intellect, a rakish charm and keen wit help Deed stand his ground but, along with his good looks, these are often his downfall too. For too long women - ex-wife Georgina Channing, Sir Ian's wife Francesca Rochester and barrister Jo Mills - have proved the judge's weakness. Perhaps attractive therapist Rachel Crawcheck can help him put a stop to his womanizing ways?
