The streets can be deadly. And now an old friend is dead.

When a homeless man’s body is found in a derelict school, Victor Mitchum knows it wasn’t an accident. He knew Sawney from his own days on the streets. Sawney was clean, scared, and being hunted by dangerous people.

Working with private investigators Kasper and Zofia Dąbrowski, Victor traces the events that led to Sawney’s death. His search leads him into Manchester’s hidden places—disused buildings, private security firms, and communities forced to live in the margins.

But as he closes in on the truth, Victor finds himself caught between powerful interests, a grieving crime family, and a city willing to look the other way.

Someone wanted his old friend silenced. Can Victor find out why before he meets a similar fate?
