On a rainy city night, a handgun is fired
at random. A struck car swerves and plows into a bus stop,
killing an unsuspecting bystander. In an explosive instant,
a cold-blooded gang initiation ends one life and forever
changes three others: the desperate teenager who pulled the
trigger . . . a policewoman on maternity leave . . . and an
aging gangster plotting a terrifying revenge.
The
truth about the shocking incident will tie them all together
in a lethal blood knot. And nothing is what it seems.
In the Dark is the most powerful
and unflinching crime novel yet from the remarkable Mark
Billingham—a gripping journey into the modern urban darkness
where violence is both indiscriminate and meticulously
planned, and youth gangs take on established criminals for
rule of the streets.
