Firearms police officer Jonah Colley gets a midnight call for help from an old friend. It leads him to Slaughter Quay where, in abandoned warehouses in an isolated area of London’s docks, he finds four bodies and is himself beaten and left for dead. Ten years previously, the disappearance of his young son had torn his life apart. Chapters hark back to what happened then and start to link current events with the loss of Theo.

Finding himself under suspicion for murder, Jonah is forced to question everything about people he thought he knew. It’s a cleverly plotted, page-turner of a thriller.
