Description

Going too much into the details and the thoughts and explanations and losing track of the fact that this is supposed to be fiction.

Especially when the author added the extra bit of relationship intrigue between two of the opposing Police factions! And I only fully realized how deep I have gotten invested in this book after finding out what "theatre" meant (this Pigeon has been learning quite a handful of British words and expressions from this app. The author was clearly using her experience as a police officer to inform her creation of these characters.

Meanwhile, Detective Kieran Shaw is heading up a major two-year operation that will blow open one of the gangs that are slowly destroying these streets, the Eardsley Buds. I would definitely consider reading further books entirely from her POV and her clashes with police procedure and corruption.

I was neither swept up but the urban atmosphere or convinced by Kate London’s need to use “dem”, “dat” and “diss” when recounting from Ryan’s perspective. But if you want a fictional account of the reality of gang life in an inner city today written in a gritty style by an author who knows her stuff, this could be your sort of book.When Lizzie is seconded to work on the confidential and specialist policing of Operation Perseus it reunites her with the father of her child and married ex-lover, flashy DI Kieran Shaw and hands her the knowledge to scupper his ambitions and potentially solve a brutal murder. Because just as those who were on the other side of the law did have selfless intentions, so did the ones on the side of good have their own selfish failings. And, reading this book, it was hard to believe that Lizzie and Kieran had ever even liked each other, let alone had an affair! It is told from four points of view, Sarah, Lizzie, Kieran and Ryan and far from being distracting it is absorbing, giving the reader different takes on the same incident and a comprehensive overview. With thanks to Readers First who provided me with a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

I loved all the characters but Ryan was my favourite, the whole way through I was really rooting for him to W cape his past and his upbringing and become the good guy! Like all police officers she started in uniform, working for two years on a response team, and then moved into the CID. Sarah and Lizzie have gripping and heart-breaking stories too, as the drama of Portland Tower comes full circle.DI Kieran Shaw is part of Operation Perseus, undercover to finally get the evidence needed to arrest and charge Shakiel, to bring an end to his reign and stop guns getting on the streets. The novel opens with a teenage boy approaching a stranger in Gallowstree Lane, North London as his blood flows out onto the street.
