The Rawley Street Gang - one of the most feared 'firms' in the East End London town of Hoxley - is responsible for the foul death of a beautiful young woman...
No one in Hoxley is prepared to help Detective Sergeant Mundy in his attempt to bring the gang to justice, so scared are they of this vicious mob and their bloody razors...
But the dead young woman had links to a circus currently in Hoxley - and this circus is eminently capable of exacting its own, brutal revenge...
A hard-hitting gangland & detective 'long short-story', set just before WW2.
From the #1 AMAZON Bestselling author of THE ENNIN MYSTERIES & THE WHISTLER: A MURDERER'S TALE.
