Death Trip Weeks, Lee

A man wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of how he got there. The room is trashed. There's blood on the sheets. And outside, London is burning — riots tearing through the streets while he pieces together a week he can't remember. Lee Weeks drops you into the chaos of the 2011 London riots through the eyes of someone who may have been part of the problem. This is grimy, propulsive British crime fiction that moves fast and hits hard. The amnesia hook keeps you turning pages, but it's the atmosphere — paranoid, violent, morally messy — that stays with you. Weeks knows how to build dread. For fans of dark UK thrillers and anyone who remembers when the news felt like the end of the world.
