Eddie Pierce is trying to solve the murder of his former boss, the notorious gangster Lee Royal. Eddie, now married to Royal’s widow Jo, descends into a spiral of paranoia and distrust as he struggles to protect his new family. But Jo has her own mystery to uncover. A dark secret in her past that could destroy them both.
“It happened at a place where three roads meet. Junction 1A of the M25, heading east towards Gravesend. There’s a killer on the road.”
Lee Royal – the King of Kent – is dead. Killed in a brutal act of road rage a year ago. Was this a random attack or something more premeditated? His death sparked off a deadly struggle for power and loot in the county and beyond, and though his murder remains unsolved, there are no shortage of suspects.
Jo Royal had long been discontented in her marriage. A toxic relationship fraught with secrets and lies that left a steady resentment for Lee burning away beneath the surface. But did that give her motive enough to want him dead?
Commander Ray Spinks of Scotland Yard was a long-time associate of Lee’s. Dark rumours of corruption haunt this high-flying detective, and of his knowledge of the whereabouts of the missing millions from a spectacular heist twenty years ago. And what of Terry Rice, the blind phone-hacker whose knowledge of the underworld seems almost prophetic. How are they both connected to the killing?
What starts as a seemingly random act of violence will soon turn into a high-stakes man hunt for a killer and the revelation of an explosive secret that will have devastating consequences.
