The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Ellie Reckless series continues... "The dead don't talk, Reckless. So why is someone whispering their secrets to a podcaster?" Ellie Reckless has built something nobody thought possible—a legitimate operation in London's illegitimate world, an arbitrator keeping the peace between warring factions through favours, muscle, and sheer bloody-mindedness. But when true crime podcaster Danny Keane starts broadcasting impossible insider knowledge about the most notorious unsolved murder in London's criminal history—the drive-by shootin g of infamous Soho gangster "The Turk" — Ellie needs to find his source before someone else does. Preferably before two million listeners hear the next episode, his long-promised "bombshell revelation" tears London's underworld apart at the seams, and before Baris Kaya—the dead man's son—walks out of prison and starts listening. In London's underworld, some secrets stay buried because the people who know them are dead. But some secrets stay buried because the people who know them very much aren't. Can Ellie find the truth before it finds her? And when she does, can she save a fool who doesn't know he's standing at the edge of a cliff? The seventh book in the critically-acclaimed series of procedural crime thrillers by #1 New York Times bestselling writer Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, and spinning out of his bestselling DI Declan Walsh book series, Save The Fool is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, J.M Dalgliesh, Martina Cole and Jessie Keane, among others.
