"Gritty, moving, and totally brilliant."

Exiled from his beloved Newcastle sixteen years ago, Detective Sergeant Lee Jamieson is returning home in search of the teenage daughter he's never met.

Lee's new job takes him back to Valley Park, the urban sink estate where he grew up, and now home to Micky Kelly, a notorious villain who is determined to climb the ladder of one of the city's biggest organised crime syndicates.

When Lee meets Micky's wife, the last thing he expects is to fall for her, hook, line and sinker. Any relationship would spell danger of the worst possible kind, but Nicola Kelly has something Lee needs if he is to bring her husband down: information.

But information comes at a price.

Is it a price either of them are willing to pay?

Opposite worlds collide in this gritty crime thriller that has readers wanting more.
