Jack Byrne

Some early reviews

Loved it. Unputdownable, five star read. Bloody Brilliant. Kind of feel sad that I read it so quick, but I couldn’t stop. Such a gripping, twisted read! Multi-layered brilliance! Exceptional! Natalie Freeman @Natfree37

I’ve just finished this book by Jack Byrne.It has everything. Set in Liverpool the novel tells a story of murder and police corruption. Against a backdrop of climate change protests, and the relationship of XR and working class people, racism, immigration, religion and football. This has the lot and I was actually nervous reading the last 30 pages, it has twists and turns all the way through it.

A superb book. Phil Rowan London region RMT political officer.

Facing police violence and threatened by climate change, a cast of young characters find they need to change themselves before they can change the world.

But there are more immediate threats to his life than global warming.

As thousands of schoolkids demonstrate for their future, Charlie and his friend, Amina, follow the clues to unravel the tragic backstory of Matt Whitney’s life and death.
