When Harpur and Iles are called in to investigate an undercover
investigation gone wrong, they can sense dark, hazardous times ahead...
After a gang shooting involving an undercover police officer, Colin
Harpur and his boss Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles are called to
another Force's ground to investigate what the Home Office sees as
spectacular failings.
Harpur can imagine the pressure the officer would have been under. If a
gang decided to kill, a spy would have to go along with it. But with
careers of fellow officers - who might be in secret, dangerous alliance
with villains - at risk, Harpur knows that he and Iles have an
exceptionally tough inquiry ahead.
