Summary

When a mass grave is unearthed, it turns a detective’s life upside down forever . . . in this “gritty, gripping, fresh and authentic” thriller (Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award–winning author of UNSUB). Twenty-seven bodies, vacuum-packed, buried in a woodland trench. Some have been there for years, some for just days. When DI Brendan Foley recognises one of them, he knows this case is about to shake his world. Foley has vital support in Det. Sgt. Iona Madison, a keen boxer outside work. But their loyalties are about to be tested to the extreme. Pressure mounts as the discovery of the mass grave becomes the focus of media attention. Foley knows they can’t crack this case alone; however, he’s not letting a rival force take over. Their investigation lead the two detectives into the murky underworlds of Manchester and Liverpool. But as Madison steps into the ring for the fight of her life, the criminals come to them. It’s no coincidence that the corpses have been buried in Foley’s hometown. The question is, why?

    An election is coming and the majority of American voters don’t want either party’s candidate. A popular third-party challenger is gaining on them. He's a highly decorated, universally admired former commander of all U.S. special operations forces and has an earned Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago. The Deep State is in a panic. It arranges for the general and his wife to be kidnapped and assassinated just as he begins his campaign.  
Only a few specially trained, unique individuals are capable of rescuing the third-party candidate in time. But their leader, Brendan Whelan, and his wife are focusing on rebuilding their damaged marriage. The Deep State seizes and confines Whelan in a secret supermax federal prison built especially for the Deep State’s political prisoners. If anyone can free Whelan, it’s his half-dozen colleagues who also have prices on their heads and are being pursued by the CIA, FBI, NSA, and other alphabet agencies of the U.S. government. 
 Can they free their leader, find the presidential candidate, and rescue him in time for him to campaign successfully against the two major party candidates?

     We appreciate them only in their effects. We know of them, among other things, that they are always to their possessor, when inordinately possessed, a source of the liveliest enjoyment. As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in that moral activity which disentangles. He derives pleasure from even the most trivial occupations bringing his talent into play. He is fond of enigmas, of conundrums, of hieroglyphics; exhibiting in his solutions of each a degree of acumen which appears to the ordinary apprehension preternatural.
