Smoke Without Fire

by Steven Lytton

One man controls the underworld on the tough streets of the city, but his empire is falling apart. His team are being attacked and murdered, his business interests are being targeted and he is constantly looking over his shoulder. While he is looking into who is behind the onslaught and why he is being targeted, he finds himself embroiled into an underbelly that leads him into a murky world involving child prostitution, drug trafficking, protection rackets, police informants and, all going on right under his nose, all going on in what he sees as his town. Not knowing who he can trust, he is dealing with the situation in the only way he knows... the only way he's ever known.

"I’ve been labelled a gangster by some, that’s laughable to me, the way I see it, I’m nothing more than a business man.".

[Sarah Baethge · Rating 4 out of 5]

Smoke Without Fire by Steven Lytton is an enjoyable book for those of you that enjoy a gripping crime novel. If you're a fan of action and a quickly paced plot, you may find yourself unwilling to give it up before you discover what happens next. All of the problems that the main character finds himself ensnared in are easily visible, yet trying to link them solidly to what he was originally looking for only leaves him grasping at the vanishing mirage. Is anything what it seems, or is it all ‘Smoke Without Fire’?
