The Supernatural on Trial

The Supernatural on Trial

 The English Legal System is widely considered to be a bastion of intellectual probity, respectability and rationality, with no time for supernatural matters. However, people have always believed in strange and fantastical creatures, including witches, demons, aliens and ghosts. Their beliefs have led them to do strange and terrible things, from fraud to murder, and when they appear before the judge and jury, these motives and beliefs cannot be ignored. Instead, they must be subjected to the same harsh legal scrutiny as any other criminal or civil case.
So join criminal barrister and ghost-enthusiast Naomi Ryan for a journey into this strange area of law in which the fortean meets the forensic, the bizarre is examined by barristers and the strange is investigated by the state, and learn about witches leaking war secrets, fairies stealing wives and ghosts solving their own murders.
A certain demon mongoose might even appear.

    The comparison of subscription plans was very helpful. I might go for the 12-month plan based on your insights.
