1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
The second gritty Newcastle-set thriller in this unforgettable series about a homeless veteran turned local sleuth and vigilante. Follow up to the highly acclaimed The Man on the Street. 'FRESH, ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC AND GRITTY' - LEE CHILD 'CHARACTERS ARE EXCELLENT. RIVETING ... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - PATRICIA GIBNEY 'A TRIUMPHANT SEQUEL ... THE TENSION BUILDS TOWARDS ITS GRIPPING CONCLUSION' - HARRIET TYCE A series of bizarre drug-related deaths among runaway teenagers has set the North East's homeless community on edge. The word on the street is that a rogue batch of Spice - the zombie drug sweeping the inner cities - is to blame, but when one of Jimmy's few close friends is caught up in the carnage, loyalty compels him to find out what's really going on. One Way Street sees the welcome return of Jimmy Mullen, the homeless, PTSD-suffering, veteran as he attempts to rebuild his life following the events in The Man on the Street. As his probation officer constantly reminds him: all he needs to do is keep out of trouble. Sadly for him, trouble seems to have a habit of tracking Jimmy down.

Second in this very good series set in Newcastle. Jimmy is a homeless veteran who in bk 1 got involved in investigating crimes which found him developing friends in a police force who had done him wrong in the past. When his young friend Deano's br is found dead and several other young drug users are also killed suspiciously a cracking story ensues. Great character development +plotting, a series of which I'm looking forward to reading more soon.
