Description
Fresh, original, authentic and gritty' Lee Child
The third and final gritty Newcastle-set crime thriller in this acclaimed trilogy about a PTSD-suffering veteran turned sleuth in the face of local villainy.
A group of vigilantes are carrying out a campaign of harassment against the homeless, hounding them both verbally and physically to get them off the streets. Jimmy Mullen is approached by his friend Gadge, who wants to confront the people behind it but Jimmy has finally got his life back on track. He's working at a hostel for 18 to 25-year-olds and he's reluctant to get involved in anything dodgy.
Gadge decides to go it alone but is attacked by two of the vigilantes. The police find him unconscious in an alley, covered in blood. Problem is, there's a dead body in the alley too and it's his blood that Gadge is covered in. He's also got the murder weapon in his hand.
Convinced that Gadge has been set up, and feeling guilty that he didn't back him up in the first place, Jimmy returns to the streets to try and find out who's behind his friend's difficulties. Unfortunately, he's about to discover that Gadge has a lot of enemies to choose from.

This series became a favorite and I'm a bit sad to let Jimmy go.
This is the best instalment, a brilliant book that balance gritty moments with some funny moments.
The plot is gripping, twisty and kept me reading.
There's a lot going on and we get to know Jimmy's story.
I loved this series and love d this book.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

5/5 - Outstanding
Dead End Street brings a fitting close to a quite magnificent trilogy from Trevor Wood.
The story of Jimmy, Gadge and Deano has kept me entertained this past couple of years, and this final, touching, heart breaking yet humour filled crime caper and tale of the homeless crime fighter in Newcastle is going to be one of my favourite reads of the year.
With Gadge in a world of trouble, and Jimmy trying to stay on the straight and narrow, Trevor Wood writes an encapsulating drama that serves to entertain and thrill any and all crime fans.
With such an inviting writing style, short, snappy chapters and characters that stand out like sirens, so strong and appealing that they all are, Trevor Wood has created something, different, unique and just a little bit special and while I’m gutted there won’t be more, he’s closed it so very well, that I’m left happy and extra satisfied with the finale.
