War is coming...

It has been six months since DCI Robert Kett’s world was almost shattered by the murderous syndicate known as Hollenbeck, and he’s still picking up the pieces. What he wants now is a slow return to the job, and a handful of easy cases.

What he gets, though, is a dead man in a Norwich underpass, his eyes replaced with molten tin.

And this body is only the first. As the city burns in an unseasonably hot spring, a series of brutal attacks leaves the Extreme Crime Task Force reeling.

With a vicious serial killer targeting random victims, two powerful gangs battling each other on the streets, and a police force close to self-destruct, Kett knows only one thing for sure.

This time, he’s at war.

The nineteenth instalment in the million-selling DCI Kett series.
