Fiction, Crime & mystery
The first in a new crime series featuring former policeman and soldier PI Lee Arnold and his Muslim assistant, Mumtaz Hakim.
It is London 2012 and Stratford in the East End is at the centre of the world. But next to the Olympic Park are some of the poorest and most crime-ridden streets in the city.
PI Lee Arnold and his assistant, Mumtaz Hakim, run a detective agency in a community fraught with conflict and tension.
Approached by a frightened woman, they start to investigate her stalker. But soon their enquiries turn in a far more sinister direction.
