My name is Michael Sibley - John Bingham

My Name is Michael Sibley turns the traditional crime novel inside out. In this tense and gripping story the police have the wrong man - the innocent narrator.

But a bigger shock awaits him when two police officers arrive at his door. For Prosset, it seems, did not die accidentally. He was bludgeoned to death. And that is when Michael Sibley makes the first of many fateful mistakes - and begins on a path of deceit that will draw him ever closer to the hangman's noose ...
