May 1999
When Acting Detective Inspector Tony Dillon learns that a contract killer has arrived in London to execute an Albanian gang boss, he organises an armed operation to respond to the threat. The problem is, he doesn’t know when or where the hit will go down.
That evening, in North London, DCI Jack Tyler's homicide team are called to a quiet backstreet café after four Turkish racketeers are ruthlessly gunned down by a gang of masked shooters.
As the dust settles, it becomes apparent that the two incidents are inexorably linked.
Joining forces, Tyler and Dillon will need to act quickly and decisively if they are to prevent a full scale gangland war from breaking out, but with few clues to go on and no clear motive for the seemingly random attacks, where do they even begin?
Dark, brutal, and frighteningly realistic. If you like gritty police procedurals with strong characters, intricate plots and non-stop action, you’ll love Turf War.
