What to expect
'Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour' Kath Middleton
How far would you go to protect your friends?
Will, Carl, Aiden and Darren are inseparable from the day they meet at school. The combination of Will’s street smarts, Carl’s brains, Aiden’s loyalty and Darren’s fearlessness mean they are a force to be reckoned with, and together they feel ready to take on the world.
But solidarity can’t insure against tragedy, and when life tests the boys to their limits, slowly the four choose different paths as they take the step into adulthood.
Darren has always been the one to take chances, with a dangerous side that's a blessing and a curse. As the years pass by, Darren’s schemes and mistakes start to weigh heavily on his friends. One fateful day, Will finally has to decide if friendship and loyalty are worth risking everything for.
Life doesn’t always give you a second chance to make the right choice…
A thrilling read from bestselling author Ross Greenwood, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin and Peter James.
