A man who can’t forget, a cop who thinks corners are there to be cut and a bomb.
The smart money thinks the bomb was revenge for a bungled police operation and gives DCI Taplin the last job he ever wanted, finding out who tried to blow up the cop who stabbed him in the back. What he wanted was a nice simple case so he could forget the past, what he got was a nightmare that will drive him to the edge of sanity.
As more bombs explode across London, Taplin must fight a harrowing battle against disappointed and furious colleagues to reveal the devious plans of a brilliant but dangerous mind.
