Bad Deeds
Not yet published
Expected 11 Jun 26'Witty, wicked and whip-smart - Bad Deeds is the perfect page turner' ROSS MONTGOMERY
---
Alex used to break into other people’s houses.
These days though, he's turned his life around. He still breaks into homes and offices – but now it's legal, to test the security for the rightful owners. He’s got a job, a regular income, a roof over his head, even a girlfriend.
For once, it's all going right.
And then he takes a job he shouldn’t, and steals a souvenir - a vial of white powder - from an executive's desk in an office he's just entered.
It’s pretty clear what the powder is. Only it proves to be something quite different, and soon Alex’s problems begin in earnest as his own flat is trashed and his life is threatened.
This little tube has opened up a whole world of trouble for Alex and his friends.
Trouble that won’t go away any time soon...
