Summary
Summary
A Deadly CrashA rainy night in south London. A gun is fired into a car, which swerves onto the pavement and plows into a bus stop. It seems that a chilling gang initiation has cost the life of an innocent victim. But the reality is far more sinister....
A Dangerous Quest
One life is wiped out and three more are changed forever: the young man whose finger was on the trigger, the aging gangster planning a deadly revenge, and the pregnant woman who struggles desperately to uncover the truth. How will she, two weeks away from giving birth, now cope in a world where death is an occupational hazard?
A Shocking Twist
In a city where violence can be random or meticulously planned, where teenage gangs clash with career criminals, and where loyalty is paid for in blood, anything is possible. Secrets are uncovered as fast as bodies, and the story's final twist is as breathtakingly surprising as they come.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A cunning variation on the serial-murder theme.” —Sunday Telegraph (London)
“Assured and shocking thriller.” —Guardian (London)
“Excellent…. Billingham does for South London what Richard Price does for Manhattan’s Lower East Side in Lush Life.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Billingham has become a major player in the British crime-fiction world, but this is a definite misstep. Fans will stick with him, and libraries will need to have all the Thorne novels on the shelf.” —Booklist
Excellent.... Billingham does for South London what Richard Price does for Manhattan's Lower East Side in Lush Life. —Publishers Weekly Starred Review
