When gangs in Liverpool and Manchester go to war, a former police detective is caught in the crossfire, in this gripping new novel by the author of Far from the Tree.

A deal has gone tragically wrong, and now two major organised crime factions are battling, sending shockwaves through the community.

Meanwhile, six months after Det. Brendan Foley’s resignation, his life is in shambles: his marriage is a mess, he’s working as a nightclub bouncer, and his brother is still missing. After searching for the crime family that destroyed his life—Brendan has found them—and they are firmly in his sights.

While his onetime partner DI Iona Madison is investigating a possible crime after a body was pulled from the River Mersey, Brendan feeds her information whether she likes it or not, and his unsanctioned activities prove problematic.

To make matters worse, there is now a price on his head. A million pounds, dead or alive . . .

Can Brendan seek the revenge he craves and keep his life intact before anyone else gets hurt?
