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)

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.

Just brilliant!

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.

Excellent gripping story lines!

I’m at a bit of a loss now having just listened consecutively to all 8 books! Such a great character with enthralling insight into a fascinating period of London’s history…. And Colin Mace’s performance as the various characters is as good as his Flashman was!

Fantastic

Holborne finds a novel way to outwit the Krays while finding love and happiness with Sally and a final reconciliation with his mother. Another fine read.
