Synopsis
Elijah `Schoolboy' Campbell is taking a great offer to leave Hackney behind and start a new life, but he has just seven days to get out of a London underworld where bling, ringtones, and petty deaths are accessories of life. Schoolboy knows that when you're running hot all it takes is one call, one voicemail, one text to disconnect you from this life - permanently. A stark, moving, and funny account of a largely hidden world.

About the Author
Born and bred in the East End of London, Dreda has seen it all from the inside. After a string of jobs as a waitress, chambermaid and catering assistant she realised her dream of becoming a teacher. During this time she saw a new generation of East Enders grappling with the same problems she had but in an even more violent and unforgiving world. Dreda’s books are inspired by the gritty, tough and criminal world she grew up in. She still lives in London’s East End.

An impressive first book with a strong sense of place and community' Sunday Telegraph 'A taut and exhilarating debut ... The tempo is rapid-fire from the start ... the dialogue is terrific and this is also a very funny novel' Tribune 'A fantastic piece of debut writing' Robert Elms, BBC Radio London 'Sharp-eyed, even sharper-tongued chase story ... distinctly different; well worth seeking out' The Literary Review 'Intriguing, touching and colourful ... a writer to watch' Natasha Cooper, TLS 'Swaggeringly cool and incredibly funny ... maintains a cracking pace' Stirling Observer 'Takes urban writing to a whole new level ... a gripping read' The New Nation
