Meer oor hierdie e-boek
A British historical mystery "makes the gritty English capital come alive . . . the action is slow-burning . . . worth waiting for the inevitable explosion" ( Kirkus Reviews).
In Breen and Tozer's London, a battle for the soul of the city is being fought between cops and criminals, the corrupt and the corruptible.
London, November 1968. Detective Sergeant Breen has a death threat in his inbox and a mutilated body on his hands. The dead man was the wayward son of a rising politician and everywhere Breen turns to investigate, he finds himself obstructed and increasingly alienated. Breen begins to see that the abuse of power is at every level of society. And when his actions endanger those at the top, he becomes their target.
Out in the cold, banished from a corrupt and fracturing system, Breen is finally forced to fight fire with fire. Authentic, powerful and poignant, The Kings of London reveals the shadow beyond the spotlight and the crimes committed in the name of liberation.
"Shaw perfectly captures London in the swinging '60s. . . . Breen and Tozer come across as fallible human beings . . . and it's their relationship—both professional and personal—that makes this a winner." — Publishers Weekly
