Beschreibung

'An intelligent, sharp, no-holds-barred thriller that had me leaning forward, turning page after page . Bravo, Mr. Humphreys. This may be your first contemporary thriller, but it certainly won't be your last' Giles Kristian
One city, one day, and a battle of wills reaches boiling point
Joseph Severin, a respectable North London businessman, has a lucrative side job. He's doing the books, old school (because these days the only trail you can't trace is a paper one) for a rogue MI5 outfit, the Shadows, headed by psychopathic Sebastien. However, when the game is rumbled, Sebastien sends hitman Mr Phipps to kill Severin and get those books back. The spider web of collateral damage will be extensive, taking in Lottie, for whom Severin has developed a sudden, wild passion; Sonya, a Russian escort with a desperate deadline; and at MI5, the ambitious Ellerby, who has them all in her sights.
It's the hottest summer in fifty years and in the shadows, a deadly domino effect is about to spill out into the harsh light of day.
An earlier version of this book was published as One London Day by C.C. Humphreys, now expanded and revised 2026.
'Hard-boiled, lustful, edgy - a modern noir' Robert Dugoni
'A wonderful noir carnival of mayhem. A joyful, dark romp' Crime Time

    I want to be ordinary. To fade into the shadows where no one notices me and live a quiet life. A normal life. 
    But I am not ordinary. Not anymore. 
    I’ve been keeping a secret. From my colleagues, my friends and most importantly, my husband - who knows nothing of my past life. 
    Twenty years ago, at college, a boy became obsessed with me. Craig Lane believed he could make me love him back if he just tried harder. When I rejected him, he did something so horrifying, it’s the stuff of nightmares. All my nightmares. 
    Now I’ve been informed by Victim Support Services, that boy - now a man - has been released from prison. The news terrifies me. 
    Am I safe? Or does Craig still carry the same obsession he did when we were seventeen? I don’t know. I’ve ignored every letter he’s ever sent me. 
    Now strange things have started to happen: flowers have been left on my doorstep, my cat keeps going missing. Someone is watching me. Knows where I live. I am sure. 
    Worse, something even more sinister could be stalking me from the shadows. Because I have another secret... 
    My past is coming to get me. One way or another.
