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)

Loved it! Love the whole series. More courtroom drama and impossible odds stacked against Charlie. This book tells the tale of 'Nipper' Read's pursuit to bring the Krays to justice. It has many true life events woven into the story Colin Mace's narration is perfect, his protrayal of each character is brilliant, He has narrated all 8 books. I would recommend this series, buy an extra 3 credits and start from book 1.

Another brilliant story and performance.
