Part of Duncan Kincaid & Gemma James, book 16
First published 2014
Superintendent Duncan Kincaid has just transferred to Camden when a bomb explodes at St. Pancras Station. The blast kills a young protester who his fellow activists insist only planned to set off a smoke bomb. Gemma James's colleague Melody Talbot witnesses the explosion and notices a mysterious bystander who vanishes from the scene. As Kincaid pieces together the evidence, each clue reveals unexpected connections. His investigation grows more complicated when his former boss, who has been avoiding him, suffers an attack. The assault deepens Kincaid's suspicions about why he was really transferred from Scotland Yard. Working with his wife Gemma, former sergeant Doug Cullen, and Melody Talbot, Kincaid pursues the truth behind both crimes. His discoveries will shake his faith in the police work that has defined his career and force him to confront how exposed his family remains to danger.
