About this listen

THE BLEED. A GRIPPING NEW CRIME THRILLER. SET IN SOUTH LONDON, INSPIRED BY REAL EVENTS.

MARC MADISON IS A GHOST
AND YOU CAN'T KILL A GHOST

Marc Madison is a loveable rogue, with a flawed addictive personality but no one ever got sacked for smoking a little too much weed or nursing the hangover from hell. He is, unbeknown to others, also one of the Mets best undercover cops and his current assignment is to bring down the drug Kingpin of south London.

With the help of bad boy dealer Christian, Marc has successfully infiltrated a local maintenance firm and is getting ever closer to the Duke Of York, the head of the OCG.

Until, one evening on the way home he suffers a massive heart attack, and as he drifts between life and death, a strangers touch brings him back to life. Although from that moment something in Marc changed. Something that went all the way back to his childhood. and his twin brother.

When a chance encounter introduces him to Eva Chan a high-class Chinese masseuse, Marc feels strangely drawn to her, but has no idea she is embedded deep within the jaws of the drug gang.

With Eva a willing Bonnie to his Clyde, Marc is dragged deeper into the south London drug world, a place where, in the search for the truth about his brother 's murder, the stakes escalate with every crime he is forced to commit.

A modern day 'Bonnie and Clyde'.Visceral. unrelenting. THE CRIME FILE
For fans of KATE LONDON, LEE CHILD, SIMON KERNICK, RJ ELLORY, AJAY CHOWDHURY, HARLAN COBEN and LINWOOD BARCLAY.
