A gritty urban legal thriller you don’t want to miss! Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Robert Bailey, Michael Connelly and Robert Dugoni.
Has Charles picked the wrong side…?
London, 1969
The Kray twins, the nemeses of Charles Holborne, barrister, are finally convicted of multiple murders and sent away for the longest prison terms ever imposed by a British court.
But with London in the grip of a housing crisis and unscrupulous landlords hiking rents, there are new ruthless enforcers terrorising destitute East Enders.
When a tenant dies during a violent altercation with bailiffs, Charles is instructed to represent the businessmen charged with conspiracy to murder. There is motive, an eyewitness and a confession – seemingly an open and shut case.
But Charles suspects his clients are pawns in a much more dangerous game being played by shadowy Establishment figures.
But are his instincts wrong this time? Is he being manipulated into defending a guilty man?
And as dark secrets are revealed, will he have to choose between moral integrity and professional success?
DEATH, ADJOURNEDis the ninth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers — gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.
‘A gripping legal thriller that triumphs… characters that leap off the page. A compelling page-turner’ — Sam Blake, author of the Cathy Connolly thriller series
'Death Adjourned is a hugely entertaining and well-constructed legal thriller with the unmistakable ring of authenticity. Simon Michael’s skill means that the legalese is handled with a light touch, but you’re left in no doubt he knows what he’s talking about' — David Beckler, author of the Antonia Conti series
