The series
Some debts don’t expire. They wait.
Nineteen years ago there was a Saturday morning Danny Mason never stopped living. He was fifteen, he found his mother shot dead and a man with red hair and bright blue eyes.
His father, the silent instrument of London’s most feared crime family, was murdered by the very men who raised him. The fortune he left gives Danny the means. He already has the patience, and he has a list.
Six books, one London underworld. Start with The Hitman and read them in order.
