Publisher Description
When gangland detective and former cop Eoin Miller wakes up to realize his almost-one-night stand has gone cold as a corpse in his bed, his gypsy heritage screams for him to do the easy thing and run. Having abandoned his morals, ambitions, and relationships for a life of alcohol, denial, and dirty work for local crime bosses, escape seems to be the only option left. But Eoin is surprised by a compulsion to root out his unknown enemies and fight for survival. All too soon, he finds himself caught in the crossfire between nearly every faction in town: rival crime lords, drug dealers, politicians, cops — even his estranged wife has a card in play. His quest to uncover the truth — and prove his innocence — resurfaces deep pains, old scars, and shattered relationships that threaten to bury him under regret. That is, if the killer doesn’t bury him first.

"A bit "blokey" perhaps but well written and engaging - reminded me a little of early Sara Paretsky. Not an epic read took me a couple of days. As a wolverhampton resisdent I also like seeing the place through someone else's eyes>"

" A trip to the grim underbelly of life in the West Midlands. Once I started I couldn't put it down. "
— Richy, 3/23/2013 -
" A compelling read, with an easy flow to it that keeps you going. The primary character is interesting and very flawed, and it lives in a seedy world mostly painted dark grey and black. "

About Jay Stringer
Jay Stringer was born in Walsall, in the West Midlands of England. He would like everyone to know he’s not dead yet. He is dyslexic, hence he approaches the written word like a grudge match. His work is a mixture of urban crime, mystery, and social fiction, for which he coined the term “social pulp.” In another life he may have been a journalist, but he enjoys fiction too much to go back. He is the author of Old Gold, the first novel in the Eoin Miller crime series, and Faithless Street.
