Publisher's summary

The second gritty Newcastle-set thriller in this unforgettable series about a homeless veteran turned local sleuth and vigilante. Follow up to the highly acclaimed The Man on the Street

A series of bizarre drug-related deaths among runaway teenagers has set the North East's homeless community on edge. 

One Way Street sees the welcome return of Jimmy Mullen, the homeless, PTSD-suffering veteran, as he attempts to rebuild his life following the events in The Man on the Street. As his probation officer constantly reminds him, all he needs to do is keep out of trouble. 

But then one of Jimmy's friends asks for help. Someone this friend was close to but has lost touch with is found dead in a dumpster, yet another victim of Newcastle's drug culture. Jimmy knows he shouldn't get involved, but loyalty compels him to try to find out what's really going on. 

Sadly for him, trouble just seems to have a habit of tracking Jimmy down.

brilliant writing and excellent narration

I thoroughly enjoyed getting insight into the characters and understanding their strengths and weaknesses. Very realistic although sad to learn about their very real and difficult lives. I can't recommend highly enough.

Fabulous end to the series

I got so attached to the characters in this trilogy, it was so interesting to hear their back stories and how it ends. I will remember these characters for a long time, they are unforgettably vivid.

Geordie sleuthing as good as it gets.

I've just finished book 2 in the Jimmy Mullen series in about four (almost) unputdownable sessions.
This followed my having just read book 1.
The writing is exceptional; the plot unfathomable, and it contains regular laugh-out-loud moments throughout.
I can give this series no higher praise than I think it is as good as any of Mick Herron's Slough House Series.
If you happen to be a Geordie to boot, then the local (super-accurate) details and references add another delightful layer.
Absolutely brilliant!

Crime story with a twist

I came across these books by accident and have just finished the second. They are entertaining, well narrated and I love the fact that the characters are homeless but not portrayed in a patronising manner. The stories feel real even though obviously unlikely.

Another classic!

What a great follow up book. With all fascinating characters making a return and some new faces, it makes a great mix and a great read. Roll on the next!

Superb and gripping

Excellent follow up to initial book this was as good if not better than The Man on the Street. Great use of many of the Tyneside regions locations and beautifully narrated throughout. Author and reader have dovetailed once again outstandingly to create a believable and gritty thriller full of real life language and modern day issues. Well done to them both and their wider support.

I really enjoyed this, another great mystery set on the streets of Newcastle, gritty and very real. I enjoyed the reading too, looking forward to Trevor Wood’s next book!

More of Jimmy Mullen Please

This second book in the series leaves me wanting more. Jimmy Mullen, despite his criminal history, is the sort of character I’d love to know in real life. Honourable, caring, intelligent. He’s just had a tough life. The story is compelling, the characters three dimensional and you want to know what their fates are. Dog is great too. And the narration is wonderful! Love the Newcastle accents!
