As hardboiled as they come, the fourth in the Nick Sharman series Nick Sharman is in traction, hospitalized for four months, and desperate for a distraction. Then Fiona arrives—a topless model for the tabloids who bullies him into convalescing in her flat. After his last disaster-ridden case, Sharman has promised himself a quiet life. What he gets—almost the minute his leg is out of the plaster—is more trouble. Emerald Watkins, king of a black south London "firm," has received a tip-off that he's about to be arrested after a large stash of cocaine is found in one of his lock-ups. He wants Sharman to help his nephew Teddy find out who's stitched him up. As Sharman roams the urban mayhem of South London in search of his mystery man, he is in turn bribed, shot at, and set up for a particularly gruesome murder. All in a night's work.
