An attempt is made on the life of a prominent Jewish academic critical of Israeli policy on the Palestinians. DCI Sara Hoyland and her team investigate but their progress is abruptly interfered with by the bombing of Manchester�s Piccadilly station that leaves scores of people dead and in which Sara herself narrowly escapes with her life. Her sister-in-law isn�t so lucky and is killed in the attack. This makes it personal for Sara. She wants those responsible and she wants them badly.
Meanwhile a political journalist based in Manchester returns from the US and disappears leaving his dead girlfriend in his flat, the front doors of Jewish homes in north Manchester are being daubed with paint, and a supposedly model British citizen turned extremist who was shot dead by security forces is named as the terrorist bomber. But after a confrontation with his wife Sara is convinced her husband wasn�t responsible for turning Manchester into a city of fear where everyone is afraid of strangers and there�s mounting community tension against the Muslim population. But who was? A local MP , Craig Sutherland, is doing his best to maintain harmony but he doesn�t know that someone close is working against him.
When the terrorists strike again Sara almost loses one of her officers and this makes her even more determined not to accept what her instincts tell her is not true. She carries on digging and no matter the political consequences of exposing the truth, including the part played by a former foreign secretary who is now disgraced and a right-wing US senator intent on becoming President, Sara uncovers a murky world of political intrigue and drama that will provide absolution for some and exposure for others.
They say that your best friend becomes your worst enemy when they turn against you. But it�s when they turn against you with a smile on their face that they are at their most deadly. But exposing who planted the bombs and killed her sister-in-law is the only thing that matters to Sara even though it could have implications for both her career and her personal life.
