Publisher Description

A riveting thriller about a damaged undercover detective navigating a web of politicians, drug lords, missing persons, and his own flawed department, perfect for readers of Tana French, Don Winslow and Dennis Lehane. 
 
Infiltrating the inner circle of enigmatic criminal Zain Carver is dangerous enough. Pulling it off while also rescuing Isabelle Rossiter, a runaway politician’s daughter, from Zain’s influence? Impossible. That’s why Aidan Waits is the perfect man for the job. Disgraced, emotionally damaged, and despised by his superiors. In other words, completely expendable. 
 
But Aidan is a born survivor. And as he works his way deep into Zain’s shadowy world, he finds that nothing is as it seems. Zain is a mesmerizing, Gatsby-esque figure who lures young women into his orbit—women who have a bad habit of turning up dead. But is Zain really responsible? And will Isabelle be next?
 
Before long, Aidan finds himself in over his head, cut loose by his superiors, and dangerously attracted to the wrong woman. How can he save the girl if he can’t even save himself?

UK Noir At Its Finest

A book with sections named after old Joy Division albums couldn’t be anything but gritty, after all the post-punk group’s most famous song is titled ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’. I just wasn’t expecting Sirens by Joseph Knox to be such an unrelenting, riveting tale, full of flawed characters, including the main guy Aiden Waits, a troubled police detective on an undercover job investigating a drug lord, Zain Carver. His case becomes more tense and complicated when asked to keep his eye on the teenage daughter of a prominent politician who has come under Carver’s sway. This is UK Noir at its finest, dark and real, with some of the most finely drawn and unforgettable characters, especially Bug. I couldn’t stop thinking about this book. I gave it a 5, however given some of the bleak realizations, I know this book is not for everyone.
