Perfect for you if...

You love police procedurals with real investigative detail and don't mind rooting for both the cop and the criminal.
You've read Peter Robinson or Val McDermid and want that same gritty, authentic British crime writing.
You want a heist story that's more than just the score. You care about who gets hurt and why.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your crime fiction light or cosy. This gets brutal when the job goes wrong.
You need a clear moral hero to follow. Jones is good, but Freeman is desperate and the lines blur.
You want standalone novels. This is book one of a series, and it ends with threads left hanging.

About this book

London crime boss DB Parrish plans to steal the Rajmahl Crown Jewels and recruits master safecracker Sean Freeman to execute the job. Freeman is skilled but desperate, trapped by debt and aware of Parrish's dangerous nature, yet sees the heist as his only way out. As the theft unfolds, DCI David Jones and DS Philip Cryer of the West Midlands Police investigate a series of violent jewel thefts that point to Parrish. When the heist turns violent, Jones races to stop Parrish before more people die. As the operation escalates and alliances break down, two opposing forces—one executing a carefully planned crime, the other pursuing justice—move toward a collision where one side's success means the other's failure.
