London in Black

A TENSE, TICKING-BOMB SUSPENSE THRILLER SET IN A GRITTY NEAR-FUTURE LONDON ‘Truly absorbing… legitimately frightening… an unusually compelling thriller’ - Kevin Brockmeier ‘A taut and timely blend of crime and dystopia’ - Alex Scarrow THE ATTACKS WON’T STOP. NEITHER WILL SHE. LONDON 2027 Terrorists deploy London Black, a highly sophisticated nerve gas, at Waterloo Station. For ten percent of the population - the ‘Vulnerables’ - exposure means near-certain death. Only a lucky few survive. LONDON 2029 Copy-cat strikes plague the city, its Vulnerable inhabitants kept safe by regular Boost injections. As the anniversary of the first attacks draws near, DI Lucy Stone, a guilt-ridden Vulnerable herself, is called to investigate a gruesome murder of a scientist. Her investigation soon unearths the possibility that he was working on an antidote – one that Lucy desperately needs, as her Boosts become less and less effective. But is the antidote real? And can Lucy solve the case before her Boosts stop working? PRAISE FOR LONDON IN BLACK ‘A skilfully rendered homage to London, with a dystopian police procedural woven in’ - Guy Morpuss, author of Five Minds ‘Noir meets dystopia in this genre bending, whirlwind of a read… Read if you dare’ - Amy Lilwall, author of The Biggerers
