Description
The shocking conclusion to Elizabeth George's previous novel sees Thomas Lynley's wife gunned down in the street outside her home. A 12-year-old boy, Joel Campbell, is arrested for the crime and the question remains: what possible motive could he have? The answer lies in a complex mixture of fate and circumstance. Joel's life takes a dramatic turn when he is abandoned by his parents and left to fend for himself with two siblings. He finds himself at the doorstep of his aunt's house, Kendra, who is struggling to turn her life around. As Joel tries to look out for his family, he makes a Faustian pact that will have far-reaching consequences. The story unfolds against the backdrop of poverty and neglect in North Kensington, where drugs and violence are all too common. With its intricate plot and complex characters, this novel is a gripping exploration of the human condition.
