Reuben Maitland, brilliant scientist and devoted father, was once the head of Genecrime, the UK's elite forensic unit. But in his single-minded quest for the truth he violated one of the sacred tenets of his profession and used his greatest forensic discovery for his personal gain. Now he is paying the price.
His family and career have been stripped from him. Another man has become the father to the son he barely sees. Shunned by his former police colleagues at Genecrime, Rueben and his partner Mornay McCornack are forced to accept jobs from some of London's most hardened gangsters.
But someone is raping and killing women in the capital and the brilliant scientists at Genecrime are stuck for leads. Then Rueben receives a mysterious message, promising a large sum of money if he can solve the mystery of prisoner Michael Brawn, who was convicted on false DNA evidence. With time running out Rueben must cast his grudges aside and help his ex-colleagues catch a brutal killer. To discover the truth about Michael Brawn he must go undercover, and without back-up, into one of the country's most dangerous prisons.
Cut off from from the outside world, and hunted by a psychopath, Rueben must ensure that he leaves the prison alive so that he can be a real father when his son needs him most.
