Book Description

London is drowning in blood. The Russian mafia is tightening its grip on the city, leaving the Metropolitan Police struggling to keep control. But for DI Ray Bailey and DI Dennis Carter, this isn’t just another case—it’s war.


As seasoned cops, they know the system doesn’t always work. To bring the Russians down, they turn to the one man ruthless enough to fight back—Billy Anderson, the last of the old-school London gangsters with his own score to settle. Together, they wage a brutal campaign, where justice is served in blood and betrayal lurks at every corner.


Caught in the crossfire is DI Laura Banks, who, when working on the case of a missing six-year-old, uncovers some deadly truths.


As the streets become a battlefield, one question remains: how far will they all go? Because in a city where power is taken, not given, the difference between a cop and a criminal is just one bad decision.

Mark Bishop is an ex-clubber and marathon runner turned crime thriller author, now channelling adrenaline into the page rather than the dance floor or finish line. Based in the UK, Mark’s gritty, emotionally-charged stories about justice, obsession, and the scars people carry. When not writing, Mark can be found hacking around the golf course or drinking strong coffee whilst plotting his next move.
