Congratulations to Simon Michael, whose absorbing courtroom drama, The Fall Guy, is out now!
The Fall Guy is the tenth book in the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers series.
London, 1969
The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who … Tin Pan Alley is the heart of London’s music scene.
It is also the dark heart of a ruthless business tainted by sex, drugs and corruption.
When a young fan is found dead from a heroin overdose at an American rock star’s accommodation and the band’s manager is charged with her murder, Charles Holborne, barrister, must defend him.
But Holborne is getting married in two weeks, and for some reason DS Sean Sloane, his best man, refuses to speak to him.
Has Sloane been turned? What has a select group of corrupt Met officers known as ‘the Team’ to do with the case?
And is Holborne’s client the unscrupulous venal businessman he is portrayed or is he, perhaps, The Fall Guy?
