London in Black (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781782278061)

A ticking-bomb and an edgy female detective offers an explosive debut set in near-future London and a "gripping, gritty, and timely police procedural destined to be a bestseller" (Independent Ireland)

Detective Inspector Lucy Stone's life was changed forever when terrorists deployed a lethal nerve gas at Waterloo Station, killing 10% of London's population. Lucy should have died - but she didn't, all because of something she'll spend the rest of her life atoning for.

Two years later, copy-cat strikes plague the city. When London's most important scientist is brutally murdered, Lucy discovers he may have been working on an antidote to the chemical weapon. But time is running out. Will Lucy find the antidote - and catch the killer - before it's too late?

London in Black is a 'truly absorbing" debut and an "unusually compelling thriller" (Kevin Brockmeier, author of The Brief History of the Dead).
