Just when DI Tom Mariner seems to be settling down with his new girlfriend...everything kicks off.

First, a badly decomposed body of a young woman is found in a Birmingham sewer. The police can't identify her and dub her "Madeleine".

Then, an important politician and his wife are shot on an isolated road. "Vengeance is mine" is scrawled in blood at the scene.

Finally, a bomb explosion in the busy city kills five people, causing chaos and panic.

Can Detective Mariner and his team get to the bottom of crimes that will come very close to home for him and his team?

Mariner will need to bend the rules and risk everything to get to the truth. In a thrilling conclusion, his own life will be threatened.

Disappointing. Unlikeable, self-centered protagonist.

I found myself wishing someone, anyone, would put Tom Mariner (and us) out of his misery. The constant wallowing and revisiting of well trod ground were too much. After skipping entire chapters, this is as far as I can go with this series.
