The untold story of how British policing's most highly-classified operation originated.
It is 1988 in Hackney, east London - a place dubbed the most awful place in Britain.
With the highest crime rates in Europe and a falling conviction rate, a ruthless group of officers are taking the law into their own hands - passing judgments that should be left to the courts.
Ambitious and driven, Detective Inspector Cat Skeldon is on to them and her small team is determined to expose their malpractice.
This could be a major problem for PC Arran Cunningham because he's enmeshed in both camps. And when the vigilante group execute a young man for a crime he didn't commit, Cunningham seems to be the only one that is aware of the mistake. Secretly, he hunts down the guilty man who has escaped justice. What he discovers will change all of their lives forever.
The first part of the 'Hunts' trilogy reveals how the Skeldon-Cunningham investigative partnership was formed. It will become vital in exposing corruption at the highest levels of British society in the years that follow.
I loved this book, it had me gripped from the off and I couldn't stop reading! I think that the storyline was almost even better as it is based on actual events. I liked our main character Arran, there was times when I felt really sorry for him as it seemed he couldn't do right for doing wrong.
The storyline developed and although there were parts that I did manage to guess I hadn't worked it all out, I thought that the pacing of int was great and I loved how it all built up to the end.
When we got to the very end I was like 'Oh My God!' After everything that had happened I just couldn't believe it!! I am definitely glad that I know ether is another one on the way as had it have been a stand alone, one-off book I wouldn't have been able to rest as I need to find out what happens next!
