About this ebook

A DRUG WAR RAVAGES A CITY

After losing her sister to an overdose, Chief Superintendent Jo Howe is desperate to tackle the world of drugs that consumes the shadowy backstreets of Brighton. Operation Eradicate is her response but not everyone sees it as a positive development.

CORRUPT POWER WIELDED FROM THE SHADOWS

For self-made millionaire Sir Ben Parsons it is a threat to his business - his colossal empire relies on addicts who survive on Respite Pharmaceuticals' substitute drugs.

A DETECTIVE IN THE LINE OF FIRE

With connections in the highest levels of government, media and organised crime, Parsons unleashes a brutal counterattack on Howe.

I loved reading City on Fire and was shocked to learn that parts of the story have really happened! Jo sees her life turn upside down when she refuses to stop Op Eradicate. There's an extensive conspiracy going after her and muddying leads that might unravel the whole thing. A lot of emotions are mixed in the story, some want justice, streets clean and free of drug dealers and drug addicts, others are greedy, looking only for more riches and power. The story is well-written and fast-paced.
