Publisher's Summary

David Blake is a worried man. He should be enjoying the high life now that he's Newcastle's 'Top Boy', the man who controls everything in the city. He lives in luxury, the money keeps on rolling in, and Blake is sharing his life with the girl that he loves. But, when one of his men takes two bullets in the back, Blake struggles to stay in control.

What the critics say

"A Tyneside Dashiell Hammett to put Martina Cole firmly in her place" ( The Times)
"A brutal, hard-hitting debut which opens up Newcastle’s dark, violent underbelly like a freshly-sharpened stiletto" (Simon Kernick on The Drop)
"Writing that leaps off the page in its lacerating forcefulness" ( Crime Time)
