Publisher's Summary
Criminal barrister Charles Holborne may have just escaped the hangman by proving he was framed for murder, but his life is now in ruins. His wife is dead, his high-flying career has morphed into criminal notoriety, and bankruptcy threatens. When the biggest brief of Charles' career unexpectedly lands on his desk, it looks as if he has been thrown a lifeline. But far from keeping him afloat, it drags him ever deeper into the shadowy underworld of 1960s London. Now, not only is his practice at stake, but his very life. Can Charles extricate himself from a chess game played from the shadows by corrupt police officers and warring gangs without once again turning to crime himself?
Based on real Old Bailey cases and genuine court documents, An Honest Man is the second in the series of Charles Holborne novels by barrister Simon Michael, set in the sleazy London of the 1960s.

Gripping. Would love to see the movie
This is an excellent story. Held my interest through the night, can’t wait to se it as a movie. But Charles Holborne is already in my head with absolute clarity.

Enjoyable story and narrator
Thoroughly enjoyable with the best narrator I've heard. Great and accurate courtroom drama. Set in London in the sixties adds interesting details.

Bit of a letdown but still with a (free) listen
The first book was solid enough. This wasn’t as good. For the second book in a series, it was a strange move not re-introducing the main character until quite few chapters in.
