Full of shocking twists and knife-edge moments, Deadlock is a relentlessly action-packed thriller about the choices we make, the people we trust and how far we’re willing to go to find the truth, from the author of Running Out of Time.

Archie Blake is no stranger to picking locks. Since his mum died, he and his police officer dad have spent their evenings competing to see who can break into safes the fastest. Archie always thought it was just a bit of fun - an odd distraction from their grief - but when a diamond necklace goes missing and his dad is blamed, everything changes.

With no one to turn to Archie goes on the run, determined to use everything he’s learned to uncover the truth and prove his dad’s innocence - even as a dark criminal underworld starts to close in around him...

Will Archie be able to find a way out before it’s too late?

Perfect for 10+ readers who aren’t quite ready Jack Reacher or Line of Duty but still want to be a part of the pulse-racing action!
