Description
The streets can be deadly. And now an old friend is dead.
When a homeless man's body is found in a derelict school, appearing to have died of an overdose, Victor Mitchum knows it wasn't an accident. He knew Sawney from his own days on the streets. Sawney was clean, scared, and being hunted by dangerous people.
Working with private investigators Kasper and Zofia Dabrowski, and aided by his dog, Oscar, Victor traces the events that led to Sawney's death. His search leads him into Manchester's hidden places-disused buildings, private security firms, and communities forced to live in the margins.
But as he closes in on the truth, Victor finds himself caught between powerful interests, a grieving crime family, and a city willing to look the other way.
Someone wanted his old friend silenced. Can Victor find out why before he meets a similar fate?

Person
D. E. Beckler writes fast-paced action thrillers populated with well-rounded characters. Born in Addis Ababa in 1960, Beckler spent his first eight years living on an agricultural college in rural Ethiopia where his love of reading developed. After dropping out of university he became a firefighter and served nineteen years before leaving to start his own business.
Beckler began writing in 2010 and uses his work experiences to add realism to his fiction. Beckler lives in Manchester, his adopted home since 1984. In his spare time, he tries to keep fit-an increasingly difficult undertaking-listens to music, socialises and feeds his voracious book habit.
