Publisher's Synopsis
Aiden Slade, a 25-year-old orphan, leads a tight-knit crew of four childhood friends in 1990s London, scamming tourists at landmarks like Trafalgar Square and the Tower of London. Driven by ambition and a hunger for power, Aiden's small-time cons evolve into drug trafficking, extortion, and violent power plays. As he climbs the criminal ladder, he navigates betrayals, rival gangs, and a relentless detective, all while grappling with the ghosts of his parents' mysterious deaths. London's iconic landmarks-Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Big Ben-serve as backdrops for heists, deals, and showdowns, grounding the story in the city's pulse.
