The second gritty Newcastle-set thriller in this unforgettable series about a homeless veteran turned local sleuth and vigilante. Follow up to the highly acclaimed The Man on the Street.

A series of bizarre drug-related deaths among runaway teenagers has set the North East's homeless community on edge.

One Way Street sees the welcome return of Jimmy Mullen, the homeless, PTSD-suffering veteran, as he attempts to rebuild his life following the events in The Man on the Street. As his probation officer constantly reminds him, all he needs to do is keep out of trouble.

But then one of Jimmy's friends asks for help. Someone this friend was close to but has lost touch with is found dead in a dumpster, yet another victim of Newcastle's drug culture. Jimmy knows he shouldn't get involved, but loyalty compels him to try to find out what's really going on.

Sadly for him, trouble just seems to have a habit of tracking Jimmy down.

One Way Street

A fitting sequel to The Man on the Street. If anything One Way Street is even better. Look forward to Mr Woods next offering.

Really good

One Way Street by Trevor Wood is a second book in the Jimmy Mullen series. The main character is a homeless man who gets involved in chain of events with murdered kids and drug gangs.

The world in the book is dirty. You can almost feel it. I can’t imagine how it is to be homeless but when I read Trevor’s books I’m pretty close to that.

I’m glad to see that Jimmy takes seriously his therapy in the support group, that he tries to get better, his relationship with his daughter is quite strong and that he even found a girlfriend. He has a place to stay and he’s not sleeping on the streets anymore. If only a new drug Spice hasn’t shown up, he might have had a pretty nice life.

As always Jimmy can’t stop himself from solving a mystery and with Deano, Gadge (and of course Dog) they try to find people responsible for several deaths caused by a dodgy drug.

I like seeing how authors become better with every book, I liked the first story but this one is proper 5 stars for me. I hope that there are more books to come in the series because I’d love to read them!

Hard hitting and tightly plotted.

Jimmy is back. Set in Newcastle, the dialogue alone confirms that the author lives and breathes this city. The locations are made full use of and a threat of menace lifts off the pages. Whilst trying to keep himself out of trouble and in his probation officer’s good books, Jimmy is concerned about a missing friend of his. That’s just the start of what turns out to be trouble not only for Jimmy but for those closest to him.

There is a stronger crime fiction element here than in the opening book and some new characters are introduced. Although this book can absolutely be read as a standalone, I would say that to read the opening book first would add to your enjoyment of this one.

Jimmy has been well crafted as a character. Tough but sometimes downright belligerent and not always focused on the bigger picture. That said, the details are often what matters. Jimmy’s mentality is very much one of “Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves”. As in the opening book, PTSD still bedevils Jimmy, although that aspect is less prominent here. Possibly, as Jimmy develops as a character and learns to become a better friend to himself, the PTSD will continue to dial down.

I loved the ending. The third book could be mouth watering.

Excellent (again!)

Having read and loved The Man on the Street, Trevor Wood's first novel, I pounced on this eagerly but with some trepidation - second novels are notoriously difficult and all too often a disappointment.
I should have had more faith: One Way Street is at least as good as its predecessor and maybe even better.
Jimmy, the central character, and his few pals continue their precarious existence on the wintry streets of Newcastle, and there are more hazards out there than the ice and snow. But no spoilers!
Although the setting is powerfully evocative, this isn't just a book about homelessness, or about Newcastle, it's about human nature, families, love, loss, coping - and hope.
Wonderful dialogue, twisty plot, totally believable characters and a good salting of humour. What's not to love? You need to read it!

Fantastic, gripping thriller. An addictive series.

I loved this book! The first book was brilliant and the character of Jimmy really stood out as someone new. This is a wonderful second book in the series and is utterly gripping. It’s an incredibly taut, well written thriller that leaves you wanting book 3 immediately.

Gritty, complex and warm-hearted

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2020

Things are looking up for ex-navy veteran, Jimmy. He has a place in a hostel, he’s established a relationship with his daughter, he’s started seeing Big Issue seller Julie and he’s in the good books of local cop DS Burns. But when Jimmy’s young friend – homeless drug addict Deano – receives devastating news of his brother’s death after taking a bad batch of spice, Jimmy risks everything in pursuit of the drug suppliers.
In many ways it’s a warm-hearted story of the friendship between Jimmy, Deano and third homeless musketeer, Gadge. But it is also a complex tale of the grim realities of drug-related crime that insinuates its way into the lives and bloodstream of young teenagers.
After two novels, this gritty series has hit its stride and is set to become a classic of the crime genre.
