LONDON, 1940.
Johnny Reece has a plan for the blackout, and it doesn't involve air-raid shelters. While the bombs fall, he's got a cinema safe to crack, a rooftop to cross ahead of the Flying Squad, and a reputation to build on the wrong side of the law.
Then the war stops being background noise.
By the time the black market swallows half of London and a body turns up where it shouldn't, Johnny's charm isn't enough to keep him clear of it - not with Detective Harry Voss circling closer, not with his right hand Jack Sallow cutting corners that can't be uncut, and not with Billie, sharp enough to see exactly what Jack's becoming and dangerous enough to do something about it.
When Johnny washes up in occupied Jersey, the only rules left are the ones he makes himself - and every choice he makes now is one he'll have to answer for when he gets home. If he gets home.
Johnny Zero is a fast, cold-eyed slice of wartime London gangster noir - for readers of Robert Harris, Philip Kerr, and Alan Furst
