The astonishing new Detective Jack Warr thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of BURIED, JUDAS HORSE and VANISHED.

It was supposed to be a simple case: a young man arrested for armed assault.

But it was just the beginning.

As Rodney Middleton awaits trial, Detective Jack Warr is warned by his mentor DCI Ridley that they have only scratched the surface of the man’s crimes.

Then DCI Ridley is suddenly removed from his post. No one is to contact him – and no one will say why.

As Warr digs into Rodney’s past, Ridley calls pleading for help, now accused of a murder he insists he didn’t commit.

One of these men is a true monster, an evil soul. But which? And what awaits Warr if he discovers the truth?

Current issues in todays society were tackled sensitively, with care, and believably written. There were several glimpses into Jacks home and personal life that gave his character more depth, and the ending very fitting for the story.
