Wigs and Pens

Peter Holbert invites readers into the privileged world of a freelance court reporter and investigative journalist whose every word can go under the microscope of judges, lawyers, police and the traumatised families of victims and offenders, even leading to a death threat.
With a lengthy lifetime’s experience in the footsteps of Charles Dickens, he reveals the challenges and triumphs of documenting the darker side of history as it unfolds in the hushed well of the courtroom in an engaging and often humorous narrative.
