Ten Days
Ten Days | Gillian Slovo
1 post | 4 read | 1 to read
It's 4 a.m. and Cathy Mason is watching dawn break over the Lovelace estate. By the end of the day, her community will be a crime scene. By the end of the week, her city will be on fire. In this gripping thriller, a death at police hands has repercussions far beyond one family plunged into grief. When violence grips Cathy's estate, the dead man becomes a useful tactic (or an urgent threat) in political games at the highest level. So while lives are at risk on Cathy Mason's estate, across London in Westminster, careers are being made, or ruined. From a Home Secretary's attempts to unseat a Prime Minister, to a new Met Police Commissioner fighting for his job, to families torn apart, Ten Days shows what happens when politics, policing and the hard realities of living in London explosively collide.

Pickpick

I picked Ten Days up at my library as part of the City Reads campaign. Not something I would have gone for ordinarily but I love the concept of encouraging everyone to read and opening up a conversation so went for it and was pleasantly surprised! Following several characters in the build up to, during and the aftermath of a London riot, I was gripped by the challenges of the ordinary characters vs the political machinations of those at the top.
