Summary
The past has finally caught up with Charles....
London, 1968: The psychopathic Kray twins have ruled London’s underworld for years, aided by their government connections, bent coppers, and extreme violence. Now, finally, Superintendent “Nipper” Read’s taskforce has a chance to take them down. The catch: Read needs barrister Charles Holborne to testify against them, while the Krays have evidence against him which would end his career and send him to prison. Caught in the middle, and with his pregnant partner’s life and his career at stake, this time Holborne has no choices left.
Can Charles put his past behind him once and for all?
Will the Krays twins’ hold over London finally be put to an end?
Or will everything come crashing down for Charles Holborne….?
“Enormously entertaining. Simon Michael does a superb job conjuring the darkness of the 1960s” (William Shaw)
“[This] is a masterclass in crime writing; the characters are vivid and well-developed, the 1960s era is beautifully portrayed and the plot is sublime. It is unputdownable, unforgettable and unmissable - words than can be applied to the whole series, in fact. Very highly recommended” (The Book Magnet)

Enjoyed it immensely
Could not stop.
Colin Mace contributed much to the experience with his great voice and skill to adjust to the various characters.
Hope there will be more from writer and reader.

gritty, tealistic story with a transforming performance
I grew up in the 60s and remember the Kray twins trial. This story and the fabulous performance really transported me back. I also found the detail of how barristers work and the inns of court fascinating. I hope there are more of these to follow please.

A must have read
The whole series has been very well written and narrated The interweaving of the legal procedures with the Jewish East End back drop h is fascinating The court scenes in each book are riveting and the insights into the legal procedures of the courts of justice is illuminating I was so disappointed to finish the series I hope there will be more books from Simon Micheal

Excellent story from start to finish
I disliked it coming to an end! The narrator Colin Mace is perfect for Charles Holborne and has the ability to just slip into each character easily and giving them such believability. Can’t wait for book number 9.

Just brilliant!
I've listened to the whole series and hope there are more to come! Colin Mace does an excellent performance (as usual) and each of the characters are distinctive.
Simon's writing is just faultless! I put the book on in every spare moment I had as it was so good. Really sad that I've finished the series (so far!) but I really hope there's more to come.

Excellent gripping story lines!
Really enjoying Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers, gripping, great story lines, scary at times. Love the jewish background with his
mum and dad and brother, so close and traditional.
