Fade To Grey

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2019 CWA GOLD DAGGER

Gethin Grey is the man you call when there’s nowhere else to turn.

His Last Resort Legals team investigates miscarriages of justice. But Gethin is running out of options himself: his gambling is out of control, his marriage is falling apart and there’s no money left to pay the wages...

Izma M was sent down years ago for the brutal murder of a young woman. In jail he’s written a bestseller and become a cult hero, and now the charismatic fading-film-star Amelia Laverne wants to bankroll Gethin to prove Izma's innocence. For Gethin – low on luck and cash – the job is heaven sent. But is Izma M really as blameless as his fans believe?

This seemingly cold case is about to turn very hot indeed...

'A clever, witty plot, Grey and his Last Resort Legal staff are fetching characters and it's a delight to read' - Times

'Lincoln has created a quirkily conflicted protagonist and a narrative that keeps tension and incident satisfyingly to the fore, with Cardiff as darkly minatory a city as Rankin's Edinburgh' - Financial Times

'A terrific ride through the mean streets of Cardiff' - Mick Herron
