Synopsis

As rival drug gangs battle for supremacy on their patch, Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur and Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles struggle to win some kind of truce - or at least to limit the brutality. Easier said than done - Harpur does his best, while fending off the meddlesome and unprincipled Iles and dealing with would-be bigshot 'Panicking' Ralph Ember, who has decided to take the law - or rather his interpretation of it- into his own hands.

Media Reviews
- 'Bill James is frontrunner among those who have turned the police procedural on its head. His prime law-enforcers have a wicked style all of their own.' - The Sunday Times - 'This author has a distinctive style, writes beautiful prose and insists the reader makes an effort (which will be rewarded). The suspense is almost unbearable, the latent truth uncomfortable and the result haunting.' - Frances Fyfield - 'British mystery writing's finest prose sylist writes with such verve and originality he transcends what can often be a stale mystery sub-genre to produce novels that are startlingly, achingly funny and sometimes wholly surreal.' - Peter Gutteridge, The Independent - 'One of the kings of the dark hill.' - Val McDermid
