RUNNING red hot in the London gangster stakes, Dreda Say Mitchell has come up with another East End sizzler featuring bright young lawyer Daisy Sullivan, whose past seeks to keep her in its criminal tentacles.

Death shatters the safety of her legal safe haven; the deadly secret in a safety deposit box spells further danger; involvement in a planned bank job puts her in deeper trouble and the delivery of a very large packet – containing the body of her best friend – is the ultimate grisly message from the underworld.

Dreda guns you down from the very start.
