his Jack Taylor novels with another astonishing smart and brutal vision from a writer rapidly
becoming one of the best of his generation. The basis for the 2011 major motion picture
starring Jason Statham Paddy Considine and Aidan Gillen. The South East London police squad
are down and out: Detective Sergeant Brant is in hot water for assaulting a police shrink
Chief Inspector Roberts' wife has died in a horrific car accident and WPC Falls is still
figuring out how to navigate her job as a black female investigator in the notorious unit. When
a serial killer takes his show on the road things get worse for all three. Nicknamed The Blitz
by the rabid London media the killer is aiming for tabloid immortality by killing cops in
different beats around the city.
