About this listen

Danny Cartwright and Spencer Craig were born on different sides of the track. Danny, an East End Cockney, leaves Clement Attlee Comprehensive School at the age of 15 to take up a job at a local garage. He falls in love with Beth, the boss's daughter, and asks her to marry him.

Spencer Craig resides in the West End, a graduate of an English public school and Cambridge University. After leaving university, he becomes a criminal barrister and is soon tipped to be the youngest Queen's Counsel of his generation.

Danny and Beth travel up to the West End to celebrate their engagement. They end the evening in a wine bar where Spencer Craig is also celebrating - his 30th birthday, along with a select group of university chums. Their lives will never be the same again. For, an hour later, one of them is arrested for murder, while the other ends up as the prosecution's chief witness in an Old Bailey trial.

Vetry Enjoyable Book

My husband and I both really enjoyed this book.We listened to it on the way to our recent vacation and on the way back.All the time during the vacation I was trying to work out the ending.We have a very slow truck which we use for holidays and the story made the driving time fly.No possible chance of falling asleep at the wheel.The book has a wonderful twist in the ending and is ultimately satisfying as the underdog / good guy wins in the end.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
