About this listen

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)

Excellent series

This whole series has had me gripped - the narrative has been brilliant and brought alive my early formative years in the 1960s. The narration has also been first class throughout and helped the characters grow and develop. Gutted we have come to the end and I live in hope there may well be more to come.

Amazing series with a brilliant finale

I love this series and it keeps me going when I am out running. I’m gutted this is the penultimate book. I gasped at the major twist as I was running along!

So twisty!

Great script

Well Simon, you've done it again. from start to finish, it was well-paced, well plotted, brilliantly narrated, with superb characterizations and character development, as well as ebbing and flowing between the personal and the professional relationships. I am so delighted that the next boot is about to be published and the only thing you need to do now, Simon, is not stop publishing anymore. I look forward to books 10, 11, 12, and so on. For anybody unfamiliar with Simon and Charles, and therefore wavering, this is an absolute must listen, but start with book 1 and work through the series.

Little to say except that it's as brilliant as the rest
