Set in the same fictional London as his CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Slough House series, Mick Herron now introduces Tom Bettany, an ex-spook with a violent past and only one thing to live for: Avenging his sonβs death.
Tom Bettany is working at a meat processing plant in France when he gets a voicemail from an Englishwoman he doesn't know telling him that his estranged 26-year-old son is deadβLiam Bettany fell from his London balcony, where he was smoking dope.
Now for the first time since he cut all ties years ago, Bettany returns home to London to find out the truth about his son's death. Maybe itβs the guilt he feels about losing touch with his son thatβs gnawing at him, or maybe heβs actually put his finger on a labyrinthine plot, but either way heβll get to the bottom of the tragedy, no matter whose feathers he has to ruffle. But more than a few people are interested to hear Bettany is back in town, from incarcerated mob bosses to those in the highest echelons of MI5. He might have thought he'd left it all behind when he first skipped town, but nobody really just walks away.
