Über dieses E-Book

  “Classy and able thriller, with crunchy London backgrounds . . . An agile and ingenious plot . . . (The) forecast for the series is excellent.” —Literary Review

A married airline pilot lies dead in his London flat—a shattered champagne bottle left protruding from his abdomen.

Film footage shows Teddy leaving Heathrow with an unidentified man. What secrets is he hiding?

Ex-cop turned private investigator Billy Rucker joins the case on the exhortation of Teddy’s brother, a well-known MP. For Rucker it’s the start of a lonely trail through the city, clutching a grainy black and white photograph and a gnawing suspicion at the pit of his stomach.

Until a chilling phone call in the night changes everything . . .

Packed with chilling suspense, Adam Baron is perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, Robert Bryndza or Peter James.
