Despite their
investigative prowess, Scotland Yard’s Chief Inspector Michael Sinclair, Lord Acton, and rookie
detective Kathleen Doyle stir more than a few feathers at CID Headquarters when
their relationship comes to light. But office politics quickly become trivial
when a rash of underworld murders shatters London’s normally austere façade.
With a growing list of
successfully solved cases to her name, the ever-dauntless Doyle shakes off the
gossip and sets out to investigate the escalating turf war. As the body count
climbs, Doyle uncovers a seedy world where fractious members of the Russian
Mafia and an Irish terrorist group are fighting for control of a lucrative
underground business. But their crooked deals and volleying acts of revenge are
almost too much for Scotland Yard to keep up with, and when Doyle notices that
Acton seems unusually troubled by the crimes, she begins to wonder what sparked
the conflict in the first place.
Perhaps there’s nothing
more to the murders than under-the-table business dealings gone awry. Or
perhaps a single act of vigilante justice fanned the flames that ignited a
vicious turf war. As Doyle and Acton fight to not become the next victims, they’ll
find that the truth may be best left unspoken and retribution may be best left
to fate.
