You like crime fiction set in contemporary Britain with sharp observations about politics, social media, and family dysfunction.

Maybe not for you if...

You need constant action or plot twists—this is methodical detective work that values observation over spectacle.

You find procedural police work tedious or want your crime fiction darker and grittier than this.

About this book

A ransacked room contains the body of former mayor Peggy Frampton. While the crime scene initially appears to be a burglary gone wrong, DS George Cross recognizes the hallmarks of murder. After leaving politics, Peggy became a controversial blogger whose outspoken views drew numerous online trolls. Her personal life was equally complicated: she had an unfaithful husband and a gambling-addicted son. Combined with enemies from her past, the list of potential suspects grows unwieldy. Cross must methodically work through the seedy connections surrounding Peggy to identify her killer. However, the sheer number of suspects threatens to overwhelm even his usually precise investigative logic. As the case stretches on, the detective faces mounting pressure—and the dangerous stakes of a world where politics can prove lethal for those who misunderstand its rules.
