      ***BEST CRIME BOOKS OF THE YEAR - THE TIMES/SUNDAY TIMES***


      ***CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH - THE TIMES***



      ''Brings the obsessional dread of James Ellroy to 1940s London.'' IAN RANKIN
      ''Extraordinary...a career-defining performance.'' THE SUNDAY TIMES
      ''This is crime writing of the highest quality'' DAILY MAIL


      SOHO, 1935.
      SERGEANT LEON GEATS'' PATCH.


      A snarling, skull-cracking misanthrope, Geats marshals the grimy rabble according to his own elastic moral code.

      The narrow alleys are brimming with jazz bars, bookies, blackshirts, ponces and tarts so when a body is found above the Windmill Club, detectives are content to dismiss the case as just another young woman who topped herself early.

      But Geats - a good man prepared to be a bad one if it keeps the worst of them at bay - knows the dark seams of the city.

      Working with his former partner, mercenary Flying Squad sergeant Mark Cassar, Geats obsessively dedicates himself to finding a warped killer - a decision that will reverberate for a lifetime and transform both men in ways they could never expect.
