DS Jim Walsh is an experienced and once brilliant detective who has a tendency to drink far too much. However, what he sees as an innocent habit that doesn’t harm anyone but himself and maybe his marriage, is about to cause him some serious problems.
Waking up with a pounding head and a mouth as dry as the Sahara after another night on the tiles is nothing new and nothing that a few tablets can’t fix.
The bigger problem is the dead girl lying in bed next to him.
In an instant Jim goes from being the lead detective to the only suspect in a brutal murder he has no recollection of, or motive for. Before long he is on the run, as he desperately works to uncover the truth about what really happened that night.
With a mysterious group emerging to frame him for the killing, his erstwhile colleagues hunt for Jim as he tries to keep one step ahead. And with his friend DC Kerry Hughes the only person who believes his story, the odds are stacked against him like never before.
Friendship and trust will be pushed to the limits, along with Jim’s ability to solve the case. But as he steadily closes in on an international criminal enterprise and the real killers emerge, how will Jim exact his revenge on those who sought to destroy his life?
