Sequel to The Brief (although can be read as a standalone): maverick barrister, Charles Holborne, may have just escaped hanging by proving he was framed for murder, but his life is now in ruins. His wife is dead, his high-flying career has morphed into criminal notoriety, and bankruptcy threatens. When the biggest brief of his career unexpectedly lands on his desk it looks as if he has been thrown a lifeline. But far from keeping him afloat, it drags him ever deeper into the shadowy underworld of 1960s gangland London. This time his life is at stake. Caught in the crossfire between corrupt police officers and warring gangs, can Charles escape without once again turning to crime. Based on real Old Bailey cases and genuine court documents, the second outing for Holborne again tests his moral course in a sea of corruption and criminality.
