In Meantime, nothing is what it seems to be . . .
DCI Patsy Chalke - beautiful, rich, Oxford-educated. Owns a riverside penthouse, drives a red Mercedes convertible.
DS Bobby Leyden - the bruiser with the 1000-yard stare from the notorious South London Ferrier estate. Lives on take-away Chinese and cans of 1664. Drives a Ford. You can take Leyden out of the Ferrier, but you'll never take the Ferrier out of Leyden.
Together they are Chalke and Cheese. And their second case together is as testing as the first, propelling them into the violence and the squalor that lurk behind the Royal Borough's pristine stucco facades. In Meantime nothing is what it seems to be.
