The author of The Next to Die returns with another gritty thriller set in London’s mean streets—“it grips the reader by the throat and never once lets go” (Daily Mail).

A young man has been murdered in the notorious Paradise neighborhood of London. The police have their assumptions and don’t much care to look deeper. Out-of-work private investigator Dylan Kasper, still reeling from his daughter’s death, intends to find the truth.

Kasper knows Paradise well, but he soon discovers just how depraved it can be. The reason the boy was killed is something the police will never find—or want to find. Because exposing the criminals responsible would implicate the government and police alike.

Putting his own life in danger means little to Kasper. But when those dearest to him are thrust into the crosshairs, he will have to make an impossible choice. Will the inhabitants of Paradise feel safe at last, if the price must be paid in blood?
