For Mee

Charlie Glover has spent a lifetime surviving by one rule: trust no one.

Working in the shadows of London's criminal underworld, he keeps people at arm's length and emotions locked away. It is a life built on routine, discipline, and the certainty that nothing lasts forever.

Then Mee arrives.

Quiet, perceptive and endlessly curious, she begins to dismantle Charlie's carefully ordered world one cup of tea, one impossible conversation and one summer afternoon at a time. Against every instinct he possesses, Charlie discovers that some people don't simply enter your life — they change it.

But Mee is hiding a past that reaches far beyond London. As old loyalties awaken and a ruthless Russian crime boss closes in, Charlie is forced to confront a truth more dangerous than anything he has faced before.

Sometimes the hardest battle isn't staying alive.

It's finding a reason to die.
