The Slaying of Joe Foster – A DCI Cook Thriller – Book 14
No one challenged Joe Foster in life, not if they valued theirs. And then, the gangster is slain and his criminal empire up for grabs.

It has all the makings of a war on the streets, something nobody wants, not even the other gangs.
Terry Foster, the eldest son of Joe, the man who should take control, doesn’t have the temperament of his father, nor the wisdom. His solution is slash and burn, and it’s not going to work. People are going to get hurt and some of them are going to die.
