Intensely private, tough as teak, DI Hanlon is not a woman to cross. Assistant Commissioner Corrigan knows she's dangerous and unorthodox. Her ruthless disregard for rules could cost him the top job he craves. But he also knows there is no one as fearless on a mission. And he likes her. So when two seemingly unrelated murders point to a mole in the Met, Corrigan turns to Hanlon-- though not without asking Enver Demirel, Turkish boxer turned London policeman, to stick to her like glue.
Then a diabetic twelve-year-old boy is abducted and what began as an investigation becomes an ugly, frightening race against time, in which Hanlon will take no prisoners.
