It's 1961 and London's Aldgate is rocked by two brutal murders... Spike is a crime thriller set in the heart of the 1960s East End still recovering from the ravages of World War Two bombings.
Jack White, a Detective Inspector with a dark sense of humour and a bad haircut, is under pressure to find the killer before he strikes again but he finds himself always one step behind.
A thrilling story that takes in the Kenyan Mau Mau Rebellion and the Special Air Service involvement in the Malayan Uprising, Spike takes the reader on a wild ride with DI White as he tracks the elusive killer.
This is the sixth novel by Stephen Ainley, born in Birmingham, England in the 1950s. The Author served in the British Airborne in the 1970s before emigrating to Australia. He is well-known for his Dennis Bisskit Series and colourful characters. His stand-alone novel, Jessup, marked a darker turn in style, also set in the East End, and takes the reader through the battlefields of France and Northern Africa.

If you love well-constructed, taut thrillers, Spike is a must-read.
