Publisher's Synopsis
England. 1971. Reporter Simon Jardine is on the hunt for the story that will kick start his career and when a tortured, mutilated body turns up on his patch he can't help thinking his luck is finally in.At first glance the provincial town of Derby is about as far away from the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll of London and California as it's possible to imagine but as Jardine begins to scratch below the surface he finds that all is not well in England's green and pleasant land.Along with fellow reporter Dave Green and local DJ Tom Freeman, Jardine is soon drawn into a spiral of gangland drug dealing and violence that stretches from the north of England to the south of Spain.
