FADE TO GREY

John Lincoln (No Exit)

Been stitched up by the law in south Wales? Who ya gonna call? The Last Resort legal team, that’s who. Led by reformed gambling addict Gethin Grey and his motley team of ex-cons and genius investigators, Fade To Grey opens up a new facet of Celtic noir. Gethin has money troubles and is tired of doing dirty deeds on the cheap when a plum case falls into his lap. A young black man, Tyrell Hanson, is in jail for the brutal murder of a young white woman. He was the last to be seen with her after consensual sex. In prison, Hanson converts to Islam and writes a bestseller. Outside, fading film star Amelia Laverne wants to bankroll his appeal. Gethin and his team trawl the mean streets of Cardiff in search of the truth, but will they like what they discover? The journey there is fascinating.
