Synopsis
A dark, gritty page-turner, set in London’s meanest streets.
When an undercover sting operation designed to catch Columbian drug traffickers, goes horribly wrong in a Heathrow hotel, suspicion falls on one of the officers involved: “Stegs” Jenner. But Stegs is no ordinary undercover cop; something of a maverick, he’s always lived life on the edge. Now, with his close friend dead in the shoot-out, he determines to go it alone.
Enter D.I. John Gallan and his partner D.S. Tina Boyd. They are investigating the murder of ex-gangster turned informer, Slim Robbie O’Brien. Slim Robbie had helped Gallan and Boyd set up the sting operation and now he is dead too, shot with his mother at his flat while events at Heathrow were taking place.
Meanwhile Stegs Jenner is working on a plan he’s been developing for a long time. Revenge, he decides, is a dish best taken very, very cold. As Gallan, Boyd and D.I. Asif Malik inch ever nearer to the man responsible for the Heathrow shooting, they uncover a murderous conspiracy that will take them to the heart of one of London’s most notorious criminal gangs. What they don’t know is that they are on a collision path that will lead one of them straight into the rifle sights of the enemy.
