  George Carman QC was, and perhaps still is, Britain's most famous lawyer within living memory. Equally feared and respected, he made his name as an erudite and incisive advocate largely in the field of libel. Coming to prominence with his superb defence of disgraced former Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe on a charge of conspiracy to murder, Carman subsequently defended many well-known faces from the worlds of entertainment, sport, politics and business, including Ken Dodd, Richard Branson and Elton John.
  Away from court, Carman was a complex and private yet not unsociable man. In 1986, he met barrister Karen Phillipps and, although she turned down his immediate marriage proposal, the two would have a close platonic relationship for the rest of Carman's life.
  Carman intended to write his memoirs but became too ill to complete the book and died in 2001. Using his papers, press cuttings and court transcripts – along with the testimonies of some of those who saw him in action and her own extensive memories of her close friend –Phillipps presents a portrait of this eminent advocate through the cases that made him famous. All the drama of the courtroom world that Carman belonged to is here, along with some of the best and most entertaining theatre the English justice system has ever seen.

  The Black Box Movement is not a redemption story. It’s a flight recorder. A raw, unfiltered record of one man’s collapse — and the invisible work of rebuilding a life after addiction, estrangement, and the quiet erasure that comes when you're cut off from your children. 
  Written and narrated by a father who nearly didn’t survive, this audiobook tells the truth most recovery books won’t: sobriety doesn’t guarantee healing, and healing doesn’t guarantee reunion. 
  This isn’t advice. This isn’t performance. It’s a record — of the work they’ll never witness, and the man who chose to become someone worth returning to, even if no one ever does.
