The Accidental Drug Dealer of Deptford

The Accidental Drug Dealer of Deptford

A non-stop page-turner for anyone who's ever been on after-work drinks.

Mick is a 29-year-old reporter on Britain's second-best selling railway magazine. There isn’t a third.

On a boozy summer night in London, he finds a rucksack of cocaine – and his beautiful, hard-drinking friend Lucy is happy to help empty it.

Lucy's taste for five-star luxury leads them to a Thames penthouse with a world-famous floating pool. But while Luke – the currency-trading owner – is happy to welcome Lucy, and her glamorous friend Bridie, what will he make of railway reporter Mick?

And can Finn – the former Premier League footballer who works with Luke on the trading floor – keep his colleague calm when the champagne corks are flying?

This twisty thriller with laugh-out-loud dialogue is the perfect read for anyone who's been for after-work drinks - just don't expect to put it down.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"Crying out to be made into a TV series"

"Book starts with a mystery but it’s the characters that keep you reading. I wondered what they were doing while I wasn’t reading the book! Really loved the dialogue and the pace of the story. Female lead is a bit of a love / hate figure, which I enjoyed! Definitely recommend."

Sam A

"What a book! I binge-read it in 24 hours. A beautifully constructed rollercoaster ride of intensity, intrigue and intoxication. Breaking Bad-on-Thames. Highly recommend!"

C.M

"Superb from start to finish! I rarely read fiction, but this had me completely hooked from page one. Genuinely interesting and entertaining throughout and the storyline kept me awake night after night as I couldn't put it down. I would thoroughly recommend it. Fingers crossed for a sequel!"
