Summary

They think it’s all over.

London, 1966. The eve of the World Cup Final.

But the kings of London’s gangland have their minds elsewhere, on business—the business of assassination.

Another high-profile case forces maverick barrister Charles Holborne into the orbit of the Kray twins, the men who refuse to stay in his past and still have the power to destroy him. Will Ronnie Kray’s mental illness finally bring the Firm crashing down? And how are a disgraced Church of England priest, an ex-stripper, and a dead man connected? Charles Holborne must once again cross the most dangerous men in London in his quest for the truth.

The Final Shot is the seventh crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers—gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.

Just Great

Besides being a great crime story and its thrilling court proceedings it is also a charming tourist guide to London.

Yet another cracker from Simon Michael!!

So it transpires that Charles Holborne is not only a skilled advocate but a lucky one as well! Don’t think Mr Michael could have chosen a better narrator!!

Love this series

I have galloped through this series since I tripped over it on Audible. The main character has matured in such a real but delicate way, the subplot about parents and being Jewish in the 60’s in London has a poignant accuracy. I even recognised the hamburger joint in Hampstead. A real treat. Thank you!

Another Charles Holborn thriller.

As with every other Charles Holborn story this is excellent and superbly narrated. Now I’m onto the next one!
