Lost Lad London

The whole of London is shocked when the mayor is found dead on an Underground train, but perhaps none more than university student Al Adley. Though he took the Tube at the time of the fatal stabbing, he doesn’t remember seeing anything unusual—certainly nothing to explain how a bloody knife found its way into his pocket that night.

Now the two must work together to conceal Al’s involvement and clear his name in the face of shadowy forces working to see Al take the fall for a crime he didn’t commit...

Faced with mounting pressure and a pile of false leads and dead ends, the police are poised to make a hasty arrest for the murder of Mayor King. Detective Ellis has his own suspect in mind but just as little hard evidence to go on.
