A twenty-year-old crime throws DI Joe Faraday into the violent legacy of the Falklands War...

Two crimes, two tangles of emotions and thwarted love...From the author of BEYOND REACH.

Portsmouth's major drug dealer's time is up. For years Bazza Mackenzie has made millions selling cocaine and heroin into the streets of Portsmouth. He's laundered the money and on the surface at least is one of Hampshire's great and the good. The police have had enough and a year long undercover operation is set up to trap Mackenzie. But when one of the investigation's leading lights is run over and put in hospital Joe Faraday is drafted in to wrap things up. It should be a dream job but Joe fears someone will move in to fill the vacuum when Bazza is gone. Bazza seems to be one step ahead of the investigation at every turn in any case. And then Faraday's son J-J is arrested. He faces a manslaughter charge for supplying drugs to an addict who has subsequently overdosed...

The discovery of a headless corpse on the rocks below the cliffs on the Isle of Wight is only the beginning of a journey for DI Joe Faraday. It's a journey which takes him right to the heart of the grim trade in human cargo from the crippled societies of the Balkans. From cheap labour to prostitution, Portsmouth, like every other city in the UK is home to untold human misery; a black economy built on illegal immigration. Joe Faraday is determined to find the real criminals that lie behind the tabloid hysteria. DC Paul Winter on the other hand is determined only to find a way out of the disciplinary action that threatens his entire career. A burgeoning relationship with a young prostitute isn't exactly helping his cause. And for Winter, it's beginning to look as if time is running out ...

Válka v Zálivu skončila. Kuvajt je osvobozen za cenu minimálních spojeneckých ztrát. Zatímco Západ oslavuje svoje vítězství, jeden muž začíná pochybovat. Jak to, že spojenecké ztráty byly tak malé? Novinář Wesley Keogh na tomto tématu pracuje deset roků. Válka v Zálivu byla možná vybojována podle scénáře předem dohodnutého mezi americkým prezidentem Georgem Busem a iráckým diktátorem Saddámem Husajnem. Nejskvělejší hodina Západu může být největším podvodem v dějinách. Keoghje smrtelně nemocný, má AIDS, a líčení, na kterém pracuje a které zasáhne srdce svobodného světa, se má stát jeho odkazem. Zpravodajské agentury na obou stranách Atlantiku bijí na poplach a začínají být nervózní. Mladá agentka britské MI5 Sarah Moretonová je vyslána, aby se s novinářem spřátelila a zjistila, co všechno ví. Vržena do světa plného chladných kalkulací, podivné loajality a fatálních tajemství, Sarah zjišťuje, že za přátelství se platí vysoká a hrozná cena. Pro ni a pro Wesleyho už nikdy nebude nic takové, jako bylo dříve…
