Blood Rights: Mike Phillips

In the 1980s, London is a melting pot of cultures, but race and class create sharp divisions.

Black British journalist Sam Dean looks for stories, not missing persons.

But when an old friend asks for help tracking down a White Conservative MP's daughter, he feels he can't say no.

Especially as Virginia's disappearance is tangled with the fate of Roy, a young mixed-race boy who reminds Sam of his own son.

A trail of secrets leads Sam into the backstreets of Black British culture, to the crossroads of race and class where you'll find seedy walk-up flats, betting parlours and smoky nightclubs.

London's answer to S.A. Cosby, Blood Rights is a riveting time capsule of London's multi-cultural history wrapped up in a tense thriller.
