By: Jack Gatland

Narrated by: Robin Laing

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 realize 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...

Another Gem in the Declan Walsh Series

Gatland and Laing put together another enjoyable case. Mr. Gatland creates a London Underground that is vivid and full of interesting characters, while Mr. Laing brings them to life and gives them a voice.

Love This Series

Love this series! Always entertaining. Can’t wait for the next to be released on audible.

Exciting

I really liked the characters and the story. It was nice to see Ellie Reckless interacting with Declan and the crew.
