✦ Synopsis

The earthshaking year of 1968 comes to sweeping and dangerous close, as William Shaw's detective duo battle the most powerful members of London society.

After being wounded in the line of duty, Detective Sergeant Breen recuperates on the family farm of his former partner, Helen Tozer. To fill the long and empty hours, he reviews the open case file for a murder that has haunted Helen for years: that of her younger sister. Breen discovers that the teenage victim had been having a secret affair with James Fletchet, the son of an affluent local landowner, celebrated for his service in Kenya during the Mau Mau Uprising.

Breen and Tozer return to London's Criminal Investigation Division,
where their questions about Fletchet's past are met with resistance and
suspicion. The deeper they probe, the more people they implicate in
their investigation. New Scotland Yard doesn't look kindly upon breaking
rank, and it's only a matter of time before Breen and Tozer make
themselves a target.

Shaw's stirring, heartfelt
and diabolically plotted mystery series is everything a reader looks
for: enveloping, invigorating, and wonderfully entertaining.
