The first novel in a sharp, timely and darkly funny new private investigator series from a vivid and unforgettable voice in the genre – perfect for fans of Mick Herron's Zoë Boehm and Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike.

Bobby Fatokun is no stranger to conspiracies. A former police officer turned ‘Bad Coach’, he now reforms corrupt officers within the Met. But when a client requests an urgent meet and then turns up dead, Bobby suspects there's more to the story than an accidental death.

Bobby's investigation leads him to a church where the victim had been working undercover, but he isn't the only one asking questions …

The church's wealthy pastor has a powerful enemy at the heart of the British Establishment - one who will stop at nothing to neutralise a threat. As the pieces of their dangerous gambit fall into place, Bobby will have to tread lightly, or his search for the truth will turn deadly.

'Leye Adenle’s novel has something of the Dirk Gentlys about it . . . there is a deft twist, some larger-than-life characters and, above all, in Fatokun a different and welcome new voice' THE SUNDAY TIMES

‘A fascinating hero’ THE TIMES

‘Fresh and original … It is pacy and witty, blending elements of spy, thriller and noir storytelling’ CRIME FICTION LOVER

Another banger by Leye Adenle! I came expecting the chaos of the Amaka series, but Fall from Grace has a different tempo, and it works. The themes around grooming, especially in spaces we consider safe, were thought-provoking and highlighted how easily people in positions of power can abuse that power.

The ending was plot twist after plot twist! It definitely feels like a part two is coming, and I’m curious to see what role the main character will play next. Leye’s storytelling was great as usual, but the narration stood out even more. I was hooked!

Another Banger by Leye!
