The smoking-hot bestseller from London A chance encounter in broad daylight. Three London policemen pull over a car and are gunned down. A number of people are irrevocably affected. Sid, a tabloid journalist who himself harbors more lurid personal scandal than anyone he condemns in print. Detective Sergeant Frank Taylor, officially on the rapid promotion track but increasingly conflicted about his identity as a cop and the hidden corruption in the department. Ex-soldier Billy Porter, who has drifted into a life of crime and onto the rapid track to perdition. His violent skills for survival are all he has. He is immensely sympathetic, and a killer. Like Puzo and Robert Daily before him, Jake Arnott finds in the private realities of marginalized, desperate people, a longing for redemption that transforms their discontent into the forces and truths that underlie our lives.
