To Die For
“Fans of gritty crime fiction will respond to the noirish atmosphere and to Joe himself whom, we somehow find ourselves rooting for.”
Booklist
Former soldier and ex-boxer Joe has always invited violence. But now Hackney’s most vicious gangs all want to kill him. Why?
As Joe tries to unravel the knot of events that have made him a target, he is drawn back into his past, back to the memory of the only woman he ever loved, Brenda, whose unsolved murder still haunts him. Then a twelve-year-old runaway enters his life. Kid is traumatized, mute, and sees Joe as her savior. Life has made Joe a machine. Can Kid—as Brenda once did—make him human again?
To Die For is a taut thriller about betrayal, vengeance, and redemption that will grab you by the throat from the very first line.
