Fast paced and full of grit, this is the first crime novel from the UK's most charismatic sporting genius.

An innocent man.

Frankie James is a young man with a lot on his shoulders. His mother disappeared when he was sixteen; his father's in jail for armed robbery; and he owes rent on the Soho snooker club he inherited to one of London's toughest gangsters.

A brutal murder.

And things are about to get a whole lot worse when Frankie's brother Jack is accused of killing a bride-to-be. He needs to find out who framed Jack and why; but that means entering the sordid world of bent coppers, ruthless mobsters and twisted killers.

But in the dog-eat-dog underworld of 1990s Soho, is he tough enough, and smart enough to come out on top?
