Synopsis

Successful criminal defence lawyer, Jon Shaw, comes face to face with, Danny Hallam, the man he tried to murder twenty-five years ago...

Then: While drug running for a local crime lord, Danny decides to call in a large debt from a young female drug addict, Micki Ashton. During a chaotic night on a riverbank, in which punches are thrown, Shaw steps in to protect the defenceless woman, but things turn deadly when Danny produces a knife and Micki is stabbed. Appalled by his friend's actions, Shaw deliberately pushes Danny into the river. Danny survives and, arrested and charged for murder, spends the next quarter of a century in prison.

Now: Meanwhile, the gang disintegrates, each haunted by the death of a young woman. Throughout his sentence, Danny refuses to name those involved. But someone knows and believes they should all pay. As, one by one, the former friends are picked off only Danny and Shaw remain. With the race on to identify a determined and forensically aware killer, Shaw throws in his lot with a detective who has her own cross to bear and her own reasons for abandoning routine police procedure.

Goodreads review by Chloe on February 20, 2022

A grim and grisly thriller that keeps you guessing all the way through. I did find some parts of the book hard to follow at times and I found a few things to be pretty unrealistic, but I was absolutely shocked by the revelation of the killer and would never have guessed it in a million years.

Goodreads review by Lisa (the.running.bookworm) on April 19, 2022

This started off well. It felt fast paced and the characters interesting and likeable. The chase to find the killer was initially exciting, with Shaw not knowing who to trust, but became tedious fairly quickly. There began to be a lot of characters and I found it became a little hard to follow. The......more

Goodreads review by Katy on May 30, 2021

This is my type of book! I love a thriller that keeps you guessing, and it definitely does that. I enjoyed the tour around England aswell and that the main character trying to solve the case wasn't a policeman...refreshing. I finished it in 2 days, worth a read!......more

Quotes

Six by GS Locke is that rare thing: a work of fiction that manages to realistically depict serious and very real subjects. Young people in crisis; the vagaries of the criminal justice system; the dark truth that a single ill-conceived action can ruin not just your own life, but the lives of those around you, too. Handled with a deft touch and a keen eye for character and pace, Six is a crime novel with a message that does not preach to the reader, but remains a thrilling and suspenseful read right to the last page.
