Paperback is £8.99 - This Has 94 customer reviews - Average Scores 4.6 Out Of 5 !!!! In the 60s London of gangsters, prejudice and terrifying gang wars, Barrister Charles Holborne spends his life dealing with the worst examples of violent criminality. After successfully winning a number of high profile cases, he is building a reputation among Soho’s criminal classes as a man who gets the job done, a reputation that doesn’t endear him to his establishment colleagues.
Yet Charles is not all he seems, and is battling both personal demons and his own past. When his philandering wife Henrietta is found with her throat slashed, Charles finds himself on the wrong side of the law and in serious trouble of the murderous kind. Arrested for her murder, can Charles discover the truth of her brutal slaying and escape the hangman’s noose?
Based upon a real case and genuine court documents, The Brief is a compelling criminal drama, and an evocative slice of sleazy glamour from the Swinging Sixties. Simon Michael delivers an addictive read for any crime fan.

Read it, it's okay, found it a bit far fetched that the barrister turns out to be an alien body snatcher from a planet with no women whose alien side only appears when eating cupcakes.

I'd guess that as it's the first in a series that the husband didn't do it..... Taken from here to a place of execution where you will be hung by the neck until dead
