"Intense, gritty, and a riveting read."
Tommy Collins is young, ambitious, and broke.
As the 1980s draw to a close, life on Valley Park Estate is grim. Jobs are non-existent and even the breadline is an aspiration for many.
Tommy's only escape is to cash in on the all-night raves he organises in empty warehouses across Newcastle. But when tragedy strikes at one of Tommy's all-nighters, Detective Chief Inspector Peach makes it his personal mission to make Tommy pay.
Add Paul Smart into the mix, a vicious loan shark on the hunt for a new investment opportunity. There is big money to be made from the new music scene, and he wants a piece of it.
With the police closing in on Tommy, it could change his life. Or it could break him.
But Tommy has a plan. And that plan could go one way. Or the other…
The Rave is a fast-paced, gritty portrayal of life on the edges of society at the end of a decade that changed Britain forever.
