The fourth in the Ben Field series of crime novels.
A member of the Al Andalus royal family is killed in England and Ben's team is tasked with finding out who did it. It will mean liaising with unwilling British police officers as well as investigating the potential for wrong doing in the Gulf. It's Ben's first serious case with Wendy Ignis as his deputy. Suri is now vice principal of the Al Andalus Police College working under Harry, Wendy's husband. Ben and Wendy soon find out that a major organised crime initiative is underway in their adopted homeland and the enemies they face are both ruthless and determined. Such people will use whatever means they think necessary to thwart the investigation and Ben is horrified to discover his family has been targeted.
