A prisoner is killed on a secure wing, an undercover policeman is shot in his home. DCI Blizzard investigates.
Detective John Blizzard wants to be spending some time with his new-born child, instead he is on a manhunt for a hitman targeting the police.
Links to the death of a convicted paedophile in prison are explored, was he going to spill the beans on well-connected associates? Or are law enforcement merely dealing with a crazed gunman with a personal vendetta?
Desperate to get results, Blizzard organises a crackdown on known criminals and decides to take on the city of Hafton’s most feared gangster.
But will kicking the hornet’s nest have the results his chief superintendent demands? Or will Blizzard himself become the victim of the killer’s wrath?
