Summary

A forensics expert faces a murder case with no known suspects—and a chance meeting that changes everything—in this “gripping” crime novel (J. S. Strange, author of the Jordan Jenner Mysteries).

A crime has been committed on the south coast of Sussex, and it’s going to take all of his skill to get this case solved.

Verloc leads a double life as a shopkeeper selling dubious items like pornography and contraceptives while also being embedded within a group of anarchists known as The Future of the Proletariat.The story begins with Verloc's mundane family life, where he lives with his wife Winnie, her mother, and her brother Stevie, who has a mental disability. Winnie is deeply protective of Stevie, often treating him more like a son than a sibling. 
Verloc's relationships with his anarchist friends—Comrade Ossipon, Michaelis, and The Professor—are marked by their ineffectiveness and ideological fervor, despite their inability to execute successful terrorist acts.Verloc's complacency draws the ire of Mr. Vladimir, the embassy's First Secretary, who demands that Verloc instigate a significant act of terrorism to provoke public outrage against anarchists.
