This is the new Lambert and Hook mystery...When Darren Chivers, a small-time drug dealer, narrowly escapes a police arrest, he begins to develop a different sort of criminal activity. Blackmail proves lucrative, but ultimately dangerous. When Chivers is murdered, Chief Superintendent Lambert, DS Hook and the rest of the team uncover a variety of suspects in the murky world where Chivers operated. As the dead man's contacts are interviewed, it emerges that a verger in Gloucester cathedral, a senior telecoms executive, an upmarket clothes boutique owner, an ex-policeman and even a vicar's wife all had reasons to want the blackmailer out of their lives.
