About this ebook

  An unputdownable crime thriller from the author of Shut Eye. “Rucker is an intelligent, reflective hero, a man well worth keeping an eye on.” —Donna Leon, New York Times–bestselling author
 
It’s the hottest summer since 1976 and a teenager, Lucy, has gone missing. Billy Rucker is asked to investigate.
 
Luck seems to be on Billy’s side. While working on another case in Camden Town, Billy is sure he catches a glimpse of her. All he need do is hang around the area and sooner or later she will turn up. Simple.
 
But when Lucy does appear Billy’s luck most definitely runs dry. At the center of a murder investigation, he has only one way out . . .
 
Praise for the writing of Adam Baron
 
“Classy and able thriller, with crunchy London backgrounds . . . An agile and ingenious plot . . . (The) forecast for the series is excellent.” —Literary Review
 
“It is Rucker’s disillusioned monologue that makes Shut Eye stand out . . . An accomplished first novel.” —The Times
 
“A surefire hit.” —Aberdeen Evening Express
 
“Good gritty stuff.” —Crime Time
 
“A treat.” —Evening Standard
