The Thames-Tigris Connection: Vance and Shepherd are investigating a case in Central London. Murders of prominent Iranian exiles present Vance with a powder-keg primed to explode. He and Shepherd must avoid a conflict among London’s Muslim community. MI-6 involvement results in the closure of three unsolved cases, but the Intelligence Agency has a plan for Shepherd and her abilities.
