Fall Guy: Rock 'n' roll murder in 1960s London

Crime and corruption go hand in hand in 1960s London...

London, 1969

The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who ... Tin Pan Alley is the heart of London's music scene.

It is also the dark heart of a ruthless business tainted by sex, drugs and corruption.

When a young fan is found dead from a heroin overdose at an American rock star's accommodation and the band's manager is charged with her murder, Charles Holborne, barrister, must defend him.

But Holborne is getting married in two weeks, and for some reason DS Sean Sloane, his best man, refuses to speak to him.

Has Sloane been turned? What has a select group of corrupt Met officers known as 'the Team' to do with the case?

And is Holborne's client the unscrupulous venal businessman he is portrayed or is he, perhaps, The Fall Guy?

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

'Simon Michael's Charles Holborne is one of crime fiction's most compelling creations. The courtroom scenes crackle with energy, but it's the depth of character and chilling plausibility that makes The Fall Guy unforgettable. Unflinching and superbly written.' - Adam Croft, bestselling author of 'The Rutland Crime Series'
