Hood Rat

Gavin Knight

In Manchester, Anders Svensson is on the trail of drug baron Merlin and his lieutenant Flow, a man so dangerous his type is said to appear only once in a decade. In Glasgow, faced with the highest murder rate in Europe, Karen McCluskey is on a one-woman mission to end gang warfare. In London, Pilgrim finds he’s no longer feared. Troll, the child soldier, is terrorizing the streets. This is our hidded urban underworld. Untold, till now.
