Is evil something you do, or something you are? A debut noir from an extraordinary new talent.
Nic Caruana never meant to make a living by killing people. Once, he was destined for a white-collar job in a middle-class area. But like many kids, he made a fatal mistake. Now, he inhabits the bleak, dark city that runs like a seam beneath London. His latest job is to track down the daughter of an arms dealer, using any weapon necessary to get to the truth. But Nic has fallen in love with his dangerous employer's wife. When the missing girl turns up dead, this grief-stricken mother starts playing twisted games with Nic--and this time he has nothing in his amory to protect himself. Taut, spare, and wonderfully plotted, this is the first in a series of menacing urban crime novels from a writer of exceptional talent.
