Produktbeschreibung

Following a deep investigation into an incident in another Force, Colin Harpur and his boss, Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles, uncovered an unpalatable truth: there is corruption in the ranks.

Good detective work allowed the pair to arrest and charge a fellow policeman, who murdered an undercover officer in an attempt to keep a crook―police racket secret. But their work is not yet done. Who ordered the execution? Why? Just how high did the conspiracy go? And ― and most importantly ― does the crooked power group behind the assassin still flourish?

There are questions that remain to be answered ― so when the home office decides to reopen the case, it is Harpur and Iles to whom the investigation is once more handed.

Autorenporträt

Bill James has been called "the Elmore Leonard of Britain's underworld" (Kirkus Reviews) and a "Master of Crime" in a mystery roundup by the London Sunday Times, which said, "There is nothing else quite like this series of police procedurals. James is concerned with the dilemmas and difficulties of policing Britain's inner cities, and he addresses these in hard-edged narratives that leave readers gasping and flinching, praying the people in these stories never come to live in their streets."

In addition to the Harpur and Iles series, James is a former journalist, and wrote for The Sunday Times, the Daily Mirror, the Spectator, the New Review and Punch.

Married with four children, he lives in Wales.
