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)

Could not stop.
Colin Mace contributed much to the experience with his great voice and skill to adjust to the various characters.
Hope there will be more from writer and reader.

gritty, tealistic story with a transforming performance

I grew up in the 60s and remember the Kray twins trial. This story and the fabulous performance really transported me back. I also found the detail of how barristers work and the inns of court fascinating. I hope there are more of these to follow please.

A must have read

The whole series has been very well written and narrated The interweaving of the legal procedures with the Jewish East End back drop h is fascinating The court scenes in each book are riveting and the insights into the legal procedures of the courts of justice is illuminating I was so disappointed to finish the series I hope there will be more books from Simon Micheal

So many twists and turns!

Loved the eighth book and so pleased to hear number nine is on its way. There are some jaw dropping moments ...
