'I was dangerous because I had nothing to lose.’ Martin is a man disillusioned with life, and with good reason. Coming from a broken home where violence was the norm, he lives alone in a stinking flat, working as a brickie when he can. The monotony of his existence is dramatically altered when he meets Ginger, who is desperately trying to escape from Mick, her obsessive boyfriend and brutal tormentor.

Keeping Ginger out of harm’s way means putting his life on the line as Martin becomes sucked into an underworld of drugs and violence, where arguments are settled with a fist or a bullet.

Gripping, honest, brutal and raw, Geoff Thompson pulls no punches in this explosive first novel that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
