The
shocking conclusion of Elizabeth George's previous bestseller,
"With No One As Witness", saw the wife of New Scotland
Yard's Thomas Lynley gunned down in the street outside her home.
Under arrest for the crime is a twelve-year-old boy, Joel
Campbell. What possible motive could he have? What chain of
events could have led such a child from the housing estates of
North Kensington to the elegant streets of Belgravia with such
deadly intent? The answer to these questions is a complex
mixture of fate and circumstance. Abandoned (albeit
involuntarily) by his parents, Joel and two siblings are dumped
on the doorstep of his aunt's house. Kendra, childless and with
two marriages behind her, is doing her best to turn her life
around; responsibility for three troubled children is not what
she had in mind. Drugs, neglect, violence and poverty are
commonplace in North Kensington. Joel does his best to look out
for his family, but that involves a Faustian pact. And the Devil
will have his pay.
