About this listen

Charles Holborne returns with his most shattering case yet! Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Robert Bailey, Michael Connelly and Robert Dugoni.

A sordid secret lies at the heart of political London….

London, 1964

Charles Holborne has cemented his reputation as a respected murder trial lawyer, who is near unbeatable in the courtroom. But he is still on the radar of the notorious Kray Twins and before long he finds himself drawn into one of their darker scandals.

Charles’s career–and his life–is in jeopardy as he fights for justice in a world of corruption, political cover-ups and double-dealings.

Corrupted is the fourth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers – gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.

"A novel that is almost instantly a classic… it runs away with the reader and leaves them wanting more… a truly awesome thriller that will leave you coming back for more." (Dorset Book Detective)

"A brilliant piece of historical crime fiction." (Fully Booked)

"A gem of a book… a fantastic read throughout, gripping, entangling and certainly a page-turner!" (Lacy Ace)

"BritCrime’s answer to John Grisham…." (Miriam Smith)

Critic reviews

"The dark and gritty latest instalment in the Charles Holborne series deserves every single one of the five stars I didn't hesitate in awarding it. The writing is so vivid and visceral that I can't believe it hasn't been picked up for the small screen. This whole series is the pinnacle of crime thriller writing and I am confident that nothing will ever knock it off its pedestal." (The Book Magnet)

I really liked this in its entirety and the quality of the story and narration stood up to all of the predecessors. I have to say, I am delighted that it was reproduced with Colin Mace narrating and the author, Simon Michaels, whom I'm sure is a lovely chap, no longer doing the voices. Simon, please keep producing the stories. they're great in every respect, but also ensure that Colin narrates them all.

Another fantastic edition

Brilliantly written and narrated
It’s so awful to think that this story could have been written right now and that human nature never changes especially the evil selfish and greedy parts

Heartbreaking

These four books kept me reading. Brilliant story lines. Believable characters and perfect narration. So sad there are only four books.

Excellent books

I love these books, and best read in order. The narrator is absolutely brilliant. Such an easy voice to listen to, and voice changes for each character.

Brilliant Series
