A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

From the beaches of the Philippines to the mean streets of London, a hunt for justice becomes a battle for survival.

When renegade ex-cop Dennis Milne stumbles upon information that could solve the brutal execution of his friend, he decides to return to the violent city he once called home, and hunt down the murderer. Milne arrives in a pre-Christmas London that is cold and hostile.

But he is no longer a policeman; no longer charged with upholding the law. And although his former colleagues don't know he's back, it soon becomes clear that there are people who do, and they'll stop at nothing to get him out of the way...

'Simon Kernick writes with his foot pressed hard on the pedal. Hang on tight!'

Harlan Coben

'Great plots, great characters, great action and some spectacular violence. Simon Kernick might just be the best of Britain's new-wave crime writers'

Lee Child

'Kernick is no longer a writer to watch; he's an author to be reckoned with'

Mark Billingham

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dennis Milne is back! A dark, gritty, utterly page-turning novel set in London’s meanest of mean streets: the follow-up to the hugely acclaimed debut, The Business of Dying.

When Dennis Milne — now living under an assumed identity in the Philippines — hears that his old friend and colleague Malik has been gunned down in a restaurant, he decides to go back to the violent city he once called home, and bring the murderer to book.

Milne arrives in a pre-Christmas London that is cold and hostile. But he is no longer a policeman; no longer charged with keeping the peace and upholding the law.

Although his friends at the King’s Cross station do not know that Milne is back in town, it soon becomes clear that his arrival has been expected by men who are after his blood. Hungry for revenge and determined to uphold his own very rough brand of justice, Milne’s search for the person behind his friend’s death leaves a trail of death and destruction that is more wide-reaching than even he could have expected.
