Hackney Stories

This is the first chapter of a new crime thriller set in one of the toughest parts of London, about teenage street gangs and the police who try to tackle them. Detective Inspector Pete Kennedy is still celebrating his latest successful case when he’s pulled out of the pub and back onto the toughest streets in London. A teenager has been shot dead and all the signs are it’s gang-related. Kennedy’s beat is the nightmare world of north London housing estates where boys kill and are killed for coming from the wrong postcode. Soon he has a prime suspect in his sights but the gang he is up against won’t give up without a fight – even if that means taking the battle to a police officer’s own family. As Kennedy tries to build a case in the face of a wall of silence, he finds the next generation of street criminals emerging – not even in their teens, but already preparing to follow their older brothers on the road to riches, prison or death. And as the war between two gangs escalates, Kennedy is drawn into confrontations that take him way beyond the police rule book and the law – and leave him confronting the toughest moral choices a policeman can face. All Day, Every Day is a fast-paced thriller which goes behind the headlines about street gangs and shootings to lift the lid on the reality of life for young men in London’s roughest areas – and the police who hunt them. The book draws on Michael Clarke’s experience as a crime reporter for Police Review, the BBC and the Daily Mail, to create a chillingly authentic picture of life on the front line in 21st century London.
