This is the new Detective Chief Inspector Henry Christie novel. Reluctantly agreeing to track down and arrest three wanted and very dangerous criminals, DCI Henry Christie's philosophy is that anything that keeps him at the cutting edge of coppering can't be all bad. His efforts to trace these felons take him from the north of England, across the Mediterranean and then back again. But then he is unexpectedly asked to close down the investigation into a fatal police shooting in an adjoining force where a low-level gangster suspected of murder has been shot dead during a police raid. It should be a fairly straightforward job but, Henry being Henry, he never accepts anything at face value. As he delves into the shooting, ruffling feathers as he goes, he uncovers a number of worrying connections. Failing to heed warnings to watch his back, Henry charges headlong into the midst of a terrifying conspiracy and finds himself much closer to the cutting edge than even he could have wanted...
