Publisher's Synopsis
'A gritty and gripping thriller ... Woodcutter puts Shaun Baines on the map.' Thomas Waugh
Daniel Dayton, a reluctant Newcastle gangster, is hired by Sophia, a mother who is not what she seems. She pays Daniel to find her troubled daughter - and then disappears herself.
Daniel seeks help from a disparate biker gang who have a turbulent history with the Daytons. When one of their crew is kidnapped, they join forces with Daniel and discover a network of criminals working in secret.
But Daniel has a secret of his own; one he is determined to hide from his friend, Bronson - the Dayton consigliere whose loyalty is being tested by Daniel's silence.
Bronson is attacked by a teenage gang and Daniel blames himself. When confronting their leader, Hannah, he discovers she is a key figure behind the missing children.
When more children disappear, Daniel finds loyalty is only skin deep and his enemy was closer than he thought.
Daniel must fight on several fronts, to uncover the truth - and stay alive.
