The fourth Tom Tompkins' novel in the Thornham Serious Crimes Unit series.
This book begins with a personal tragedy for Tompkins that will mark him forever. Nonetheless, although now promoted to a supervisory role, he's actively drawn into another case of complex dimensions, where his skills are needed more than ever. At the same time, he desperately needs to understand why the tragic event at the beginning of the book took place. In helping him to find the answer, we are introduced to a new and very able detective, Ben Field.
