Book description
The explosive and compelling thriller of drugs and murder in south
London's mean, gangland streets. Nick Sharman is nobody's favourite
person. Ex-cop, ex-doper, invalided out of the Met after a stray
bullet in the foot saved him from an investigation into the missing
evidence from a drugs haul. The cops don't like him. The villains
don't like him. Sharman is unemployable. So he's hired himself an
office and set up shop as a private investigator in his south London
patch. Divorces and debt-collecting were what he expected. What he
gets is Patsy Bright, young, pretty and missing. Her father wants her
back. She's a good girl, a model, and only a little bit into drugs.
With Sharman's connections it should be a piece of cake. Only when he
comes to with a split head, a pocketful of planted heroin, a dead girl
and two policemen acting on a tip-off, does Sharman realise this case
is different. And serious. And personal.
