The brilliant new novel about contemporary London gangland crime by the hugely well reviewed author of THE PARADISE TRAIL. When the head of the last big organised crime family in London is found with his brains blown out in his exclusive Highgate mansion, crime reporter Laurie Lane seems to be getting all the leads. There is no shortage of people who wanted the infamous Duncan Hook out of the way. The widow of the man for whose murder he was recently acquitted is at the top of the list. Or maybe this was just business; someone after Hook's club portfolio and property empire. Or something darker; an ex-Scotland Yard detective out for revenge? With the help of Detective Inspector Sandra King, Lane's investigations take him from lap-tops, to lap-dancing clubs, to bank robbers, in search of the truth.
