Sometimes, just surviving is not enough. You have to know what to do with yourself once the crisis is over.
Ex-DI Alec Friedman is recovering from the car crash that almost killed him. Now back at home, with his wife Naomi, he feels as though he has lost something of himself. He may be alive, but he is hollowed out and empty.
Another man standing at the same crossroads is Gregory. Soldier, mercenary, hired killer, Gregory is contemplating retirement and struggling to find meaning in the idea.
Then a brutal murder, followed by the kidnap of a mother and child, drags Alec, Naomi and Gregory back into the game. Why was Anthony Palmer tortured and killed and what sort of kidnappers send no ransom demand and make no contact with the family of the victim? Whoever they are, they killed Palmer, and now the race is on to find Katherine and her baby before they too end up dead . . .

      What happens to spies, hit men, and others of their ilk when the political balance of the world shifts? It’s not easy for them to reinvent themselves, as shown in British author Adams’s murky ninth mystery featuring blind former policewoman Naomi Blake (after 2013’s Secrets). The torture murder of a man with no apparent history, found strung up in a cottage kitchen, and the subsequent kidnapping of a mother and child, bring assassin Gregory Hess back into contact with the mysterious Nathan Crow, art student Patrick, Naomi, and Naomi’s husband, former Det. Insp. Alec Friedman. What links the principals is never clear, nor is the reason for so much trust between people on opposite sides of the law. After the kidnapping, a cop says that he finds nearly everyone connected to the case to be cold. Many readers will agree with him.
