Publisher's Summary

Charles Holborne, maverick barrister, will never fit in at the bar—too working-class, too Jewish, and too dangerous—all of which makes him the perfect outsider to prosecute a murder case which will rock British justice to its foundations. 

The newspapers call her "The Lady in the Lake", but those intimately involved had a different name for the body preserved perfectly for almost a decade: they named her "The Waxwork Corpse". But she's not the only thing to be raised from the past. 

The investigation also dredges up with violent mistake made by Charles in his youth which, if revealed, may see him hanged.

The Waxwork Corpse, closely based on a real Old Bailey case, is the fifth crime novel in the exciting historical series of Charles Holborne legal thrillers–gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.
