The legal thriller series you need to read! Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Robert Bailey, Michael Connelly and Robert Dugoni.

 

Guilty until proven innocent...

 

London, 1960

 

Barrister Charles Holborne is not popular. A Jewish East Ender with a rough past, he is ostracised by his anti-Semitic and class-conscious colleagues who don't want him in their prestigious Establishment profession.

 

And the bitterness Charles feels at work is spilling over into his personal life, putting his marriage under strain.

 

When a high-profile murder case lands on his desk, Charles is hopeful his fortunes will turn around. But after a shocking crime is committed, he finds himself on the other side of law...

 

Can he outwit those trying to frame him? Will he manage to unmask the real criminal?

 

Or will he find himself on trial for murder...?

 

THE BRIEF is the first crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers - gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.
