Corrupted

A sordid secret lies at the heart of political London…

London, 1964

Charles Holborne has cemented his reputation as a respected murder trial lawyer, near unbeatable in the courtroom.

Successful in his career, happy in his relationship with Sally, and past misdemeanours buried, at last life is turning his way.

But in defending an innocent child, he finds himself investigating a sex ring that involves not just the notorious Kray twins and the corrupt Met policemen in their pockets, but which reaches the very echelons of the British Establishment.

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

‘The dark and gritty latest instalment in the Charles Holborne series deserves every single one of the five stars I didn’t hesitate in awarding it. The writing is so vivid and visceral that I can’t believe it hasn’t been picked up for the small screen. This whole series is the pinnacle of crime thriller writing and I am confident that nothing will ever knock it off its pedestal’ The Book Magnet

‘A novel that is almost instantly a classic… it runs away with the reader and leaves them wanting more… a truly awesome thriller that will leave you coming back for more’ The Dorset Book Detective

‘BritCrime’s answer to John Grisham’ Miriam Smith

‘These are confident novels, sharply observed, packed full of rich, authentic dialogue.
