A fantastic, never–before–published Tom Thorne
novel by England's crime king.
It's been twenty–five years since Tom Thorne last
went to work wearing the "Queen's cloth" but now, having
stepped out of line once too often, he's back in uniform.
He's no longer a detective, and he hates it.
Still struggling to adjust, Thorne becomes convinced that
a spate of suicides among the elderly in London are
something more sinister. His concerns are dismissed by the
Murder Squad he was once part of and he is forced to
investigate alone.
Now, unable to trust anybody, Thorne risks losing those
closest to him as well as endangering those being targeted
by a killer unlike any he has hunted before. A man with
nothing to lose and a growing list of victims. A man who
appears to have the power to make people take their own
lives.
