2018: Gang violence in London is just around the corner
Gallowstree Lane
What you need to know before your trail
Detective Inspector Kieran Shaw’s not interested in the infantry. Shaw likes the proper criminals, the ones who can plan things.
For two years he’s been painstakingly building evidence against an organized network, the Eardsley Bluds. Operation Perseus is about to make its arrests.
So when a low-level Bluds member is stabbed to death on Gallowstree Lane, Shaw’s priority is to protect his operation. An investigation into one of London’s tit for tat killings can’t be allowed to derail Perseus and let the master criminals go free.
But there’s a witness to the murder, fifteen-year-old Ryan Kennedy. Already caught up in Perseus and with the Bluds, Ryan’s got his own demons and his own ideas about what’s important.
As loyalties collide and priorities clash, a chain of events is triggered that draws in Shaw’s old adversary DI Sarah Collins and threatens everyone with a connection to Gallowstree Lane…
Travel Guide
Travel to London
This is not going to be the kind of London you wish to visit – all the locations in the novel are fictional for obvious reasons – as this is a novel about gangs. The novel focuses on the kind of problems and tragedy the police and authorities have to deal with on a regular basis. The problem of gangs and knife crime are particularly relevant sadly in today’s modern world and so this is the London reflected here.
Gallowstree Lane is the focus of the gang life and police investigation but this is a fictional street. What is very real is the police work, the dogged investigation and an insight into the kind of social problems which create and fuel gangs in the first place.
