Summary
Charles Holborne returns with his most shattering case yet! Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Robert Bailey, Michael Connelly and Robert Dugoni.
A sordid secret lies at the heart of political London….
London, 1964
Charles Holborne has cemented his reputation as a respected murder trial lawyer, who is near unbeatable in the courtroom. But he is still on the radar of the notorious Kray Twins and before long he finds himself drawn into one of their darker scandals.
Charles’s career–and his life–is in jeopardy as he fights for justice in a world of corruption, political cover-ups and double-dealings.
Corrupted is the fourth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers – gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.
"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." (Dorset Book Detective)
"A brilliant piece of historical crime fiction." (Fully Booked)
"A gem of a book… a fantastic read throughout, gripping, entangling and certainly a page-turner!" (Lacy Ace)
"BritCrime’s answer to John Grisham…." (Miriam Smith)

Critic reviews
"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)

Brilliant
Colin Mace bought this fantastic book to life with his superb narration. Liked the insight into the legal profession in the 60's and the East End under world. Waiting now for Audio to produce book 5. If you haven't read the first 3 books in the series make sure you get them on your reading list they are all great.

The resurrection
I may be mistaken but I am pretty sure the main protagonist's father died in the previous installment. A minor point if not for the emphasis on his family, anglisation and estrangement followed by reconciliation caused by the death.
That and a few other factual errors detracted from the now rather formulatic storyline.

A disturbing story of abuse
I was looking forward to this listen with the return of Colin Mace as narrator. He didn’t disappoint. Michael’s description of the 1960’s London is really good as I particularly remember that, for me, was a golden hot summer. The story itself was interesting but there was so much repetition that I got rather frustrated and somewhat annoyed as it distracted from the meat of the narrative. Also not sure that I liked Holborne very much by the end. Will I pick up the next one?? Not sure. This one definitely not as good as the first two in the series.

Brilliant Series
I love these books, and best read in order. The narrator is absolutely brilliant. Such an easy voice to listen to, and voice changes for each character.
