Save The Fool

Ellie Reckless #7 / 7

Save The Fool (Ellie Reckless #7) by Jack Gatland
Unrated

"The dead don't talk, Reckless. So why is someone whispering their secrets to a podcaster?"

Ellie Reckless has built something nobody thought possible — a legitimate operation in London's illegitimate world, an arbitrator keeping the peace between warring factions through favours, muscle, and sheer bloody-mindedness. But when true crime podcaster Danny Keane starts broadcasting impossible insider knowledge about the most notorious unsolved murder in London's criminal history — the drive-by shooting of infamous Soho gangster "The Turk" — Ellie needs to find his source before someone else does. Preferably before two million listeners hear the next episode, his long-promised "bombshell revelation" tears London's underworld apart at the seams, and before Baris Kaya — the dead man's son — walks out of prison and starts listening.

In London's underworld, some secrets stay buried because the people who know them are dead. But some secrets stay buried because the people who know them very much aren't.

Can Ellie find the truth before it finds her? And when she does, can she save a fool who doesn't know he's standing at the edge of a cliff?

Jack Gatland

Jack Gatland

Jack Gatland, the pen name of Tony Lee, is a British author known for crafting intricate crime thrillers that keep readers at the edge of their seats. With a writing career that spans over three decades, Lee's diverse body of work includes everything from graphic novels and comics to television scripts, but it is under the Gatland name that he has truly found his voice in the world of crime fiction. His gripping Detective Inspector Declan Walsh series delves deep into the world of cold cases, bringing life to the "Last Chance Saloon" unit of the City of London Police—where every investigation feels like a race against time, and every solution is just as layered and complex as the characters themselves.
