Congratulations to Simon Michael!

Congratulations to Simon Michael, whose absorbing courtroom drama, The Fall Guy, is out now!

The Fall Guy is the tenth book in the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers series.

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?

Happy Publication Day to to C V Chauhan!

Congratulations to C V Chauhan, whose gritty urban thriller, Shattered Dreams, is published today! Shattered Dreams is the second book in the Inspector Sharma series.

When a body is found in Charnwood Forest in Leicestershire, Detective Inspector Rohan Sharma is called to the scene.

But before he can get there, a young woman arrives on his doorstep, saying she is scared for her life and asking for his help.

Before he can take down her details, she runs away.

And when Sharma reaches the crime scene, what he finds leaves him bewildered.

The prone body lying on the ground is of a man in full diving gear. He looks to have been dead for a while, but there is no obvious cause of death.

And before long, a second body is discovered, this time in the local river. It is a naked woman, with her head and hands missing.

Her build is similar to that of the mysterious woman on Sharma’s doorstep. But there is nothing to identify her.

Are the two deaths connected? Can Sharma and his team discover the identities of the two victims?

Or could they be about to unravel something even more disturbing…?
