So far it's been easy, but when a date ends in tragedy, Marlon finds himself hunted. They're after the mysterious Mr Orange, and they're going to use Marlon to get to him. Marlon's out of choices. Can he become the person he never wanted to be, to protect everyone he loves? Critic Reviews: "What a book! Such a gripping, gritty storyline, with such wonderful, believable characters. Loved it." (Tanya Landman, author of Buffalo Soldier) "A truly brilliant book. I galloped through it...edge of the seat stuff!" (Malorie Blackman) "Pitch-perfect teen voices and a bruising, thrilling pace." (Metro) "Direct and punchy." (The Guardian) "A contemporary urban thriller with a powerful family drama at its heart." (The Bookseller)
