After 20 years with London's Metropolitan Police, Clare Blake has reached the pinnacle of her profession. She's New Scotland Yard's highest-ranking woman officer, the Serious Crime Group Commander, and head of the Murder Review Team. The pressure is intense and so is the scrutiny.
Ambitious but reckless, Blake lets her personal life bleed into her career. She defies convention, risks her reputation, and always gets too close to her cases. Each misstep she makes pleases DCI Hedges, a shifty, self-interested colleague with a grudge to settle. And he's not the only person who wants to bring her down.
