His team focuses on Detective Sergeant Jerry Summers, a young officer living an extravagant lifestyle. But Summers develops a personal relationship with a WPC on William’s team and the investigation hangs in the balance. As the undercover officers start to draw the threads together, William realizes that the corruption may go deeper still, and more of his colleagues than he first thought might be willing to turn a blind eye.

No where near as good as previous efforts. Two stories, intertwined into a most unlikely scenario, covering a book that is far less voluminous than previous books. What can be better than sitting down with a Jeffrey Archer novel? It is like spending time with an old friend. Characters you can really warm to, others you hate with a vengeance, good plots and twists in the tale (sorry!) all result in an enjoyable read. I am glad that the author saw the possibility of a crime series based on a detective introduced in novels written by the lead character in The Clifton Chonicles. A fictional fictional character. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown There is so much going on with a disgraced ex senior police officer getting in league with the crooks who try to appear as if they are on the level.Meanwhile, a notorious drug baron goes on trial, with the prosecution case led by William’s father and sister. And William’s wife Beth, now a mother to twins, renews an old acquaintance who appears to have turned over a new leaf, or has she? His team focuses on Detective Sergeant Jerry Summers, a young officer living an extravagant lifestyle. But Summers develops a personal relationship with a WPC on William's team and the investigation hangs in the balance.

Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. As his undercover officers draw the threads together, William realizes that the corruption may go far higher than his initial assessment, and that more of his colleagues than he thought possible might be willing to turn a blind eye . . . Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.Second in the military crime series featuring Special Agents Scott Brodie and Magnolia "Maggie" Taylor, after The Deserter (2019).
