Someone wanted would-be politician Malcolm Dale dead, and managed to
achieve this aim without, apparently, leaving much in the way of
clues, forensics, or witnesses. Here, then is a case for Detective
Inspector Hillary Greene. But she has barely started before another
case blows up, leaving her out of the loop and with too much time on
her hands. She starts investigating but what she discovers leaves her
reeling, with her own career in jeopardy and the fate of her team
hanging in the balance. Moreover, DS Janine Tyler is now in charge of
her original murder investigation and her old adversary Frank Ross is
up to all his usual, dangerous tricks. Hillary will have to employ all
her skills if she is to extricate herself...
