YOU WON’T WANT TO PUT THIS DOWN, PAGE AFTER PAGE OF ACTION AND CLIFFHANGERS . . . 

Monday morning. 8.30am. Chris Striker has seen it all. But nothing like this. He’s in charge of London’s Traffic Management System. Now he stares at his screen in horror. A woman deliberately steps into the path of an oncoming lorry at Tower Bridge. Killed on impact.  

At the same moment, a man steps in front of a bus on London Bridge. Two other people stare at their phones, then launch themselves into the rush hour traffic.  

Just who – or what – is controlling them? 

Something about Striker’s account doesn’t add up. Detectives Paterson and Clocks race to his flat to interview him - and find the place ransacked. A note is taped to the kitchen door. One word: Retribution.

THE DETECTIVES 

Detective Superintendent Ray Paterson is a young and (thanks to family money) wealthy womaniser. He was recently widowed under tragic circumstances. He knows he’s weak when it comes to practical policing and struggles to find a place among his peers, desperate to be a good policeman and not just a ‘climber’.

Detective Inspector Johnny Clocks is a foul-mouthed, working-class officer. He grew up surrounded by rogues and villains to become a first-class thief taker with the Met police. However, his childish attitude has short-circuited his career and he spends his days antagonising as many people as he can.
