Book description
London. A city where no-one feels safe and one man's crime is
another man's justice. A paedophile is brutally murdered in his own
home, and to protect other known offenders the police must haul the
families of their victims down to the station for questioning. It's
just another day in the life of D. I. Will Wagstaffe; better known to
friends and enemies alike as Staffe. In this case nothing is simple,
least of all Staffe's personal life. There's heartache from Sylvie,
his estranged lover, and the dark shadow of Jessop, his mentor. And as
he digs for answers into the grime of the city he finds the boundaries
between right and wrong have been blurred, but the main question
remains: just how far would you go to protect your children?
