To be the king - you need to kill the king.

When East-End gangster and 'frenemy' to the Last Chance Saloon, Johnny Lucas, is accused of murdering a London gangland rival in his boxing club, he claims his brother was the killer.

The only problem though is that his brother, Jackie, is actually Johnny's multiple personality.

Pulled in to prove the case, DI Declan Walsh and his team soon realise that Johnny might be as innocent as he claims, as a new player is in town, claiming to be Johnny's brother Jackie in the flesh, a man who shouldn't exist yet can prove he does, is starting to carve out his own empire.

And as old foes appear with their own agendas against Declan, and as Central London becomes a criminal warzone not seen since the days of the Krays and the Richardsons, Declan finds himself facing a criminal mastermind with more than power on their mind...

...and Declan is the next pawn to be taken off the board...

This feels like a last in the series but I very much hope not. The story brings together much of the past but doesn’t rely on your knowledge of those other excellent books. Walsh is a great character as is Munroe. The story rockets along with lots of twists and touches of humour.
The narration is perfect as always!
A really entertaining listen.

A cracker
