Take the King

Cop for Criminals Ellie Reckless, Book 6

By: Jack Gatland

Narrated by: Gill Mills

The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Ellie Reckless series continues...

"We're not here to fight you, Reckless. We're here to buy you out."

Ellie Reckless has carved out her place as London's criminal arbitrator, keeping the peace between warring factions through favours and brutal negotiation. But when slick "business consultants" start circling every major crime family like sharks, offering buyouts instead of bullets, Ellie faces her deadliest challenge yet.

These aren't your typical northern thugs – the McCanns have weaponised corporate law itself. With a ruthlessly brilliant solicitor as their architect, they're making London's crime bosses an offer that sounds too good to refuse: legitimacy, protection, and power without the blood.

But every deal comes with a price.

When Ellie's team gets targeted by a vicious intelligence operation that tears into their most painful memories, she realises this isn't business – it's war. With the recently released Moses Delcourt and Danny Martin leading the corporate invasion, and her own allies seduced by promises of clean money, Ellie must unite London's bloodiest enemies against a threat that fights with contracts and kills with clauses.

But when the bullets start flying and the bodies pile up, can street justice survive against corporate law? And when Ellie discovers who's really pulling the strings, will she be able to stop an enemy whose family grudge runs deep enough to destroy an entire city?
