About the Book

London, 1964

Life for Charles Holborne seems to be settling down. He has a steady girlfriend, is in demand at the courts, and is back in contact with his estranged family.

Unfortunately, though, he’s got on the wrong side of two of the most dangerous men in London: Ronnie and Reggie Kray.

A shock encounter leads to Charles taking on one of the most important briefs of his career.

But as old prejudices resurface and Charles’s past comes back to haunt him, it seems not only his reputation, but his life could be on the line…

Can Charles settle the score with the Kray Twins? Will he lay to rest the ghosts of the past?

Or will his defence of The Lighterman be the last case he ever takes...?
