Maxine Welsh works the streets of Leith, her world collapsing beneath the weight of addiction and mounting debt. A meeting with her only friend leads to a series of incidents that open up new possibilities until her life is threatened and events spin out of control. Police, gangsters and friends old and new all play their part in another story of crime and its consequences set in the world of the bestselling Detective Grace Macallan series. The Road to Eden is Overgrown (Leveller Book 1) by Dan Wheatcroft After losing his wife to cancer, Nick is, a broken man, who tries to drink himself to death, but a mysterious encounter one evening sets his life on a completely unexpected path. When DCI Thurstan Baddeley takes over at the lively and resourceful murder squad all hell seems to break loose in and around the city of Liverpool. A local crime lord is gunned down in a quiet backstreet and a string of execution-style killings follow. However, the hidden clues found along the way by the investigators all point to something much bigger than organised crime.
