A knight of the realm rides alone on the London Eye, and ends up dead. A body is found in Buckingham Palace. Terrorists attack an exclusive nursery school in Belgravia. Three tragic deaths, all in the space of hours, all in places where murder simply isn’t meant to happen. Sergeant Kirstin Toogood is swept up in the events as an anti-terror operation swings into motion. Sergeant Markus Inglefield also finds himself pulled into the investigation and together they try to make sense of troubling prejudices the anti-terror operation focuses on. Things take a turn for the unexpected and expectations start to unravel. Worst of all, Sergeant ‘Gui’ Guidonis gets involved in the investigation, leaving Kirstin having to choose between the official lines of enquiry of an entire anti-terror operation, or the tangent Gui wants her and Markus to follow.
This is my first read by this author and I must say I’d definitely read another by him.
The storyline is well thought out. Three Sergeants are tasked with investigating several murders that happened quickly. Nothing is what it seems and it doesn’t look like they have full support behind them.
Although I thought this was slow to start off with I felt the pace picked up and I found myself looking forward to reading another few chapters.
If I had to say a negotiation would be that this book would do well with another read through by the author as I found sometimes little words like and, the etc were missing. This didn’t take away from my reading enjoyment but it may do for some other readers.
