The new novel from former Met detective turned author Kate London, one of the rising stars of crime fiction.

Please don’t let me die. Please don’t. When a teenage boy steps out of the shadows of Gallowstree Lane and asks a passer-by for help, it’s already too late. His life is bleeding out on the London street. The murder threatens to derail Operation Perseus, a covert police investigation into the Eardsley Bluds, an organised criminal network. Detective Kieran Shaw can’t and won’t allow that to happen. But fifteen-year-old-Ryan has other ideas. He’s witnessed the death of his best friend, and now he wants someone to pay …As loyalties collide, a chain of events is triggered that threatens everyone with a connection to Gallowstree Lane.
