The narrow alleys are brimming with jazz bars, bookies, blackshirts, ponces and tarts so when a body is found above the Windmill Club, detectives are content to dismiss the case as just another young woman who topped herself early. But Geats - a good man prepared to be a bad one if it keeps the worst of them at bay - knows the dark seams of the city. Working with his former partner, mercenary Flying Squad sergeant Mark Cassar, Geats obsessively dedicates himself to finding a warped killer - a decision that will reverberate for a lifetime and transform both men in ways they could never expect.

Savage, beautiful, mesmeric. It' s impossible not to marvel at the detail, at the sheer richness of each and every scene. Dominic Nolan is a wonderful writer, Vine Street is a very special book. -- CHRIS WHITAKER, author of WE BEGIN AT THE END A tour de force. A brilliant marriage of tension and rich detail, with Nolan' s trademark turn of phrase. He writes like a dream - a dark, fevered, frenzied dream -- HARRIET TYCE, author of BLOOD ORANGE An enthralling tale that takes you into the seamy heart of Soho' s past. Written in Nolan' s visceral, muscular prose, it is a joy to read -- LESLEY KARA, author of THE RUMOUR An epic, brutal, blockbuster of a crime novel. If this doesn' t propel Dominic Nolan to the top table of crime writing then we should burn the table to the ground, bury the ashes and start from scratch -- TREVOR WOOD, author of THE MAN ON THE STREET A rich, ambitious, masterpiece of a crime novel -- OLIVIA KIERNAN, author of the Frankie Sheehan series
