Buy What We Leave Behind by Siôn Scott-Wilson

In this sequel to Some Rise By Sin, Sammy and Facey are pulled back into the gritty world of London’s criminal underworld.

This time, the stakes are higher than ever as the fate of Sammy’s young adopted son hangs in the balance.

Coerced into the hunt for a notorious gemstone, Sammy and Facey are torn between their moral code and their desperate desire to save the boy.

As they navigate the dangerous streets of London, they are forced to confront the weight of their actions and the legacies they will leave behind.

Will they make the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the stolen child — and can they rise above the sins of their past?

What We Leave Behind by Siôn Scott-Wilson is published on 26 May, 2023.
