Hackney. Russ Litten’s second novel, Swear Down (Tindal Street, £12.99), features fast-tracked DS Peter Ndekwe, newly arrived from across the river. His boss wants him to wrap up the murder of gang leader Aaron Stewart, found stabbed on the Crown Heights estate, as soon as possible. There are, however, two confessions: one from Carlton McKenzie, a young black man with some history as a petty criminal, who is making a valiant attempt to get himself away from the gang culture that threatens to envelop him, and another from Jack Shepherdson, an ex merchant seaman with a fondness for betting and booze.
