Force of Evil

Simon Michael
Works of: Fiction

On the face of it, representing a widow in an accidental death case should be routine. Sergeant Maynard, an RAF policeman at Cardington Airbase, died in a simple motorcycle accident.

The problem is, Mrs Maynard insists her husband was murdered and, although sceptical, as Charles delves further he realises something bigger and much more frightening is happening at the RAF base.

As rifts in the corrupt Metropolitan Police are revealed and the threats to Charles and those he loves escalate, he begins to wonder: has he finally bitten off more than he can chew?

FORCE OF EVIL, based on a true but unpublicised case of multiple murder, is the sixth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers — gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.

“An exciting, tension-filled legal thriller” The Book Doctor

“A top-notch story by one of the best writers in the genre today” Glynn Young (USA reviewer)

“Simon Michael once again proves that he is up there with the best of British crime writers … If you are a bedtime reader, be warned, you will very quickly become one of the “one more chapter then I’ll put the light out” brigade, and three chapters later the light is still on!” H.W. Wright
