In the Dark B 英文原版

　　A rainy night in London. Shots are fired into a car which
swerves on to the pavement, ploughing into a bus stop. It seems
that a chilling gang initiation has cost an innocent victim their
life. But the reality is far more sinister…One life is wiped out
and three more are changed forever: the young man whose finger was
on the trigger; an ageing gangster planning a deadly revenge, and
the pregnant woman who struggles desperately to uncover the truth.
Two weeks away from giving birth, how will she deal with a world
where death is an occupational hazard? In a city where violence can
be random or meticulously planned, where teenage gangs clash with
career criminals and where loyalty is paid for in blood, anything
is possible. Secrets are uncovered as fast as bodies, and the
story’s final twist is as breathtakingly surprising as they
come.
