‘Price has written a gripping follow-up, full of inside knowledge – along with dark twists and turns.’ Thomas Waugh, author of Enough is Enough
Tommy Broadbent, one of Liverpool's most renowned criminals, stumbles across a vagrant, Thomas Dorchester - who is the villain's exact doppelgänger. Dorchester is soon hired to front Broadbent's club, to fool the police that he has gone legit, while Broadbent carries on his activities in the shadows.
Dorchester is shot - but survives. The police are called in to investigate.
Detective Sergeant Martin Draker, an officer who clears cases - but not always through conventional means - with his superior DCI Colin Carstairs, an experienced detective adept at seeing the bigger picture, are brought in to run a parallel investigation. Broadbent may be considered a reformed criminal, but he is also one of Merseyside Police's most valuable informants.
Dorchester wakes up in hospital and realises he needs help. He plans to out himself as an impostor to Draker and his partner Cath Moore, an ex-journalist who swapped careers to become a field intelligence analyst. A further attempt on his life succeeds before he can reveal the truth - and the attack nearly takes out Draker and Moore.
Learning from his exploitation of Dorchester, Broadbent intends to infiltrate the police with false informants and sell the intelligence to the highest bidders.
Draker, Carstairs and Moore need to uncover Broadbent's plans and prevent them.
There will be blood.
