Fiscal: Perjury

Third short story in the Fiscal series.

In the high-stakes world of the Scottish justice system, Advocate Depute James MacLeod is tasked with prosecuting Donald Grant, a powerful businessman accused of financial crimes that have destroyed lives. The key to the case? Julie Ramsay, a nervous junior accountant whose testimony could seal Grant's fate. But as the trial progresses, MacLeod finds himself trapped in an ethical nightmare. Julie's story doesn't add up, and under pressure, she's about to commit perjury.

Torn between his duty to the law and the unrelenting push for a conviction, MacLeod faces an impossible choice: let a lie win the day, or risk the entire case crumbling around him. As the courtroom drama intensifies, MacLeod must confront the very nature of truth, justice, and the price of professional survival.

In a gripping legal thriller where every decision has consequences, Fiscal: Perjury explores the fine line between right and wrong-and how easily it can be crossed.
