Description
Thirty years have passed since Harry Starks and his gang controlled the underworld of Soho. The consequences of their brutal reign continue to be felt today. For Julie McCluskey, the daughter of one of Starks' victims, this has led to a deep-seated anger that she's now directed at Harry Starks himself. Julie's discovery that money from her father's murder was used to fund her own drama school education has only intensified her fury. Meanwhile, Tony Meehan, journalist and part-time murderer, has taken on another occupation: ghostwriting the autobiography of one of the Bullion Job gang members involved in a robbery where Starks was also implicated. And then there's Gaz, who worked for Starks' rival Beardsley in the 80s and is now embroiled in a very dangerous game. As Jake Arnott delves into the world of the greedy 80s and the rave scene of the 90s, he delivers a hard-edged and riveting novel that explores the darker side of human nature.
