Eyrie Brown used to serve in the Army, until a tragic loss forced him to return to civilian life earlier than planned. Now he drives one of London's iconic black cabs. On a dark, wet night, he gives a lift to a wounded gangster, and everything changes from that point on.When the mob lord gets in touch later, offering Eyrie a small fortune if he will take care of a mysterious young woman for a weekend, Eyrie is hesitant. He can see trouble ahead, but the money will change his life, so he reluctantly agrees to become a temporary guardian. But murder is on the cards, and his vengeful "moll" turns out to be far more of a handful than he had ever anticipated. As twist follows twist and bodies start to mount, Eyrie gets backed into a blood-soaked corner and must resort to desperate, inventive measures if he is to stand any chance of seeing his mission through and making it out of the weekend alive.Fast-paced, action-packed, gritty London-based noir, inspired by the likes of Mickey Spillane, Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, with a large tip of the hat to the Billy Wilder movie Some Like It Hot."EDITORIAL REVIEWSA thrilling tale loaded with bullets, bloodshed, and bodies."

“Come out of it shaken but here, suicide dodged, able to dream once again about a future where I don‘t have to do this, where I‘m at ease with my past, not necessarily living pretty, but I‘m at a place where the demons can‘t find me.”

“Hope is a fool‘s banquet, and the fools who sit down to dine on it usually die of starvation.”

One of those books you really couldn‘t put down until it‘s done. It was a gangster thriller movie in my head. I loved Eyrie Brown‘s character, from his name to his demeanor. Toni at first, I kind of hated, but respected her as a badass. Nice twist at the end. Similar setting and plot of The Evil and the Pure, but loved it just as much.

“I needed to be a loner to survive, but I was aware that, if I didn‘t take care, I could be too much of a loner for my own good. Antisocial as I was, I did need a few friends to spend time with. Otherwise what was I surviving for?”

Starting off the day good with another Darren Dash book and an iced pineapple matcha w/ dragonfruit drink. (I treat myself to a SB matcha drink every Thursday if I can💚) I hope everyone is having a good day! ☀️
