Six months to live. His daughter kidnapped. Nick Ryan has nothing left to lose — which makes him the most dangerous man in London.

Five homeless kids have been mutilated across the capital. Ryan's seen the reports. Couldn't care less. Not yet.

Since his family walked out, he's been running on empty — a private detective with no cases worth taking and a death sentence from his doctor. Then his daughter appears on a videotape. Masked captors. No negotiation.

Ryan stops caring about dying the moment he has a reason to stay alive long enough to find her.

Hutson strips this down to pure, relentless momentum. No clean hero. No comfortable resolution. Just a broken man refusing to stop moving until he gets his daughter back or runs out of time — whichever comes first.

“As a creator of unpretentious balls-out shockers, he’s unbeatable.” — Time Out
